solve the formula for the indicated variable.
celsius to fahereneit
solve for C: F=9/5C + 32
i forgot how to do this

F = 9/5C +32 (subtract 32 from each side)
F - 32 = 9/5 C (multiple each side by 5/9)
5/9(F-32) = C

First solve the feherneit to celsius
The formula
F = 9/5 C + 32
-32 -32
Subtract - 32 from both sides
F - 32 = 9/5c
5/9F -32 5/9(9/5)C
Inbert 9/5 to 5/9 And multiply both sidesby 5/9
5/9F - 32 = C
The the formula for celsius is 5/9F - 32 = C
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - -- - - - -- - - - -- - - - -- - - -- - - - -- - - - - --
Solving from celsius to fehereneit
C = 5/9F -32
+ 32 + 32
Adding + 32 to both sides
C + 32 = 5/9F
9/5C + 32 = 9/5(5/9)F
Invert 5/9 to 9/5 and multiply both sides by 9/5
9/5C + 32 = F
The Fereneneith formula is 9/5C + 32 = F

Start with F=9/5C+32.
Subtract 32 from both sides: F-32= 9/5C
Multiply by 5/9 on both sides: 5/9*(F-32)=C

Start by subtracting the 32 from both sides
F-32 = 9/5 x C
Then Multiply both sides by the inverse of 9/5
5/9 x (F-32) = C

F = (9/5) * C + 32
subtract 32 from both sides
F - 32 = (9/5) * C
multiply both sides by (5/9)
(F - 32) * (5/9) = C
*The asterisk (*) means "multiplied by"
hope this helped.
Always remember the order of operations: "Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction"
(remembered by the pnuemonic device "Please excuse my dear aunt Sally") and that when you are solving for something just work it backwards, ie: first do subtraction, then addition, then division, then multiplication, then exponents, and last parenthesis, and you will come to the answer much more quickly

Shouldn't the formula be F=(9/5)C + 32
F-32=(9/5)C
C=(5/9)(F-32)

First subtract 32 from both sides.
multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 9/5
You will end of with 5/9F-32=c
