F = (9/5)C + 32
Plug in each value for C and evaluate.
F = (9/5)(-10) + 32 = -18 + 32 = 14
F = (9/5)(0) + 32 = 0 + 32 = 32
F = (9/5)(15) + 32 = 27 + 32 = 59
F = (9/5)(100) + 32 = 180 + 32 = 212

F= 9/5C + 32
When C = -10, F = 9/5(-10) + 32 = -90/5 + 32 = -18 + 32 = 14
When C = 0, F = 9/5(0) + 32 = 32
When C = 15, F = 9/5(15) + 32 = 135/5 + 32 = 27 + 32 = 59
When C = 100, F = 9/5(100) + 32 = 900/5 + 32 = 180 + 32 = 212

All you have to do is replace the C in the equation with an actual temperature. For example, to express 37°C in Fahrenheit,
F = (9/5)37 + 32
= (1.8)37 + 32
= 66.6 + 32
= 98.6
So 37°C = 98.6°F

Just plug in those values for C and solve for F:
Case 1:
C = -10
F = (9/5)(-10) + 32
F = (9 * -2) + 32
F = (-18) + 32
F = 14
Case 2:
C = 0
F = (9/5)(0) + 32
F = 0 + 32
F = 32
Case 3:
C = 15
F = (9/5)(15) + 32
F = 9 * 3 + 32
F = 27 + 32
F = 59
Case 4:
C = 100
F = (9/5)100 + 32
F = (9 * 20) + 32
F = (180) + 32
F = 212
