+F+=+%289%2F5%29%2AC+%2B+32+
Subtract +32+ from both sides
+F+-+32+=+%289%2F5%29%2Ac+
Multiply both sides by +5+
+9C+=+5%2A%28+F+-+32+%29+
Divide both sides by +9+
+C+=+%285%2F9%29%2A%28+F+-+32+%29+ answer
-----------------------
check:
Let +F+=+212+
---------------------
+212+=+%289%2F5%29%2AC+%2B+32+
+180+=+%289%2F5%29%2AC++
+9C+=+900+
+C+=+100+
------------------
+C+=+%285%2F9%29%2A%28+212+-+32+%29+
+C+=+%28+5%2F9+%29%2A180+
+C+=+5%2A20+
+C+=+100+
OK
