Question
In Problems $39-46$, solve for the indicated variable in terms of the other variables.$F=\frac{9}{5} C+32$ for $C$ (temperature scale)
Step 1
To do this, we can start by subtracting 32 from both sides of the equation: F - 32 = (9/5)C Now, to completely isolate C, we need to divide both sides of the equation by (9/5). To do this, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of (9/5), which is (5/9): Show more…
