temperature conversion

Question

A made up temperature, degrees X, has a relationship with degrees Celsius as follows. Tx=(Tc+10 degrees Celsius) (5 degrees X/ 14 degrees Celsius)

The question is to convert 58 degrees X to Celsius

Answer 1

Tx = (Tc + 10 degrees Celsius) ( 5 degrees X / 14 degrees Celsius)

 

Tx * 14 degrees celsius = (Tc + 10 degrees Celsius) (5 degrees X)

 

Tx * 14 degrees celsius / 5 degrees X = Tc + 10 degrees Celsius

 

Tx * 14 degrees celsius / 5 degrees X - 10 degrees Celsius = Tc

 

So 58 degrees X =

 

58 degrees X * 14 degrees celsius / 5 degrees X - 10 degrees Celsius = Tc

 

58/5 * 14 degrees celsius - 10 degrees Celsius = Tc

 

Tc = (58/5 * 14 - 10) degrees celsius

 

Tc = 152.4 degrees Celsius
