Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve for C, we start with the equation $F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32$. We want to isolate C, so we first subtract 32 from both sides to get $F - 32 = \frac{9}{5}C$. Then, to solve for C, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of $\frac{9}{5}$, which is $\frac{5}{9}$, resulting in $C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$.
