Question

F = 1.8C + 32 what is c

The formula F = 1.8C + 32 allows you to find the Fahrenheit (F) temperature for a given Celsius (C) temperature. Solve the equation for C to produce a formula for finding the Celsius temperature for a given Fahrenheit temperature.

Answer 1

Explanation:

right.

and therefore c is in this case the name of the variable in the equation (or function).

add on.

ah, do you mean (and does this strange problem description mean) that you want the reverse formula : to get C out of F ?

in that case

F = 1.8c + 32 = 9/5 × c + 32

F - 32 = 9/5 × c

5/9 × (F - 32) = c

or

c = 5/9 × (F - 32)

that's it.
