Express as this for clarity: F=(9/5)C+32.

Solve for C in terms of F.


--
F%2B%28-32%29=%289%2F5%29C%2B32%2B%28-32%29

%285%2F9%29%28F%2B%28-32%29%29=%285%2F9%29%28%280%2F5%29C%2B32%2B%28-32%29%29

Simplify (although combining steps will be good if you do so properly).

highlight%28%285%2F9%29%28F-32%29=C%29
