$F = \frac{9}{5} C + 32$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{9}{5} C + 32 = F$ .

$\frac{9}{5} C + 32 = F$

Step 2

Combine $\frac{9}{5}$ and $C$ .

$\frac{9 C}{5} + 32 = F$

Step 3

Subtract $32$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{9 C}{5} = F - 32$

Step 4

Multiply both sides of the equation by $\frac{5}{9}$ .

$\frac{5}{9} \cdot \frac{9 C}{5} = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)$

Step 5

Simplify both sides of the equation.
