F+=+%289C%2B160%29%2F5
F+=+%289%2F5%29C%2B32 reduce 160/5 to 32
F+-+32+=+%289%2F5%29C%2Bcross%2832-32%29 Subtract 32 from both sides
%285%2F9%29%28F+-+32%29+=+cross%28%285%2F9%29%289%2F5%29%29C Multiply both sides by 5/9. This cancels the 9/5 on the right side
C=%285%2F9%29%28F+-+32%29 So this is what C equals
