The formula F = 9/5 C + 32 relates temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius. Find the value of C that corresponds to F = 95.

Question

help is much appreciated

Answer 1

So we have a value for F, and so we use that to find C. Insert F's value into the equation:

95 = ⁹/₅ C + 32

Subtract 32 from both sides:

95 - 32 = ⁹/₅ C + 32 - 32

63 = ⁹/₅ C

Now we multiply both sides by ⁵/₉:

63 * ⁵/₉ = ⁹/₅ C ⁵/₉

63 is divisible by 9:

7 * 5 = C

35 = C
