Solve for C F=1.8C+32

$F = 1.8 C + 32$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $1.8 C + 32 = F$ .

$1.8 C + 32 = F$

Step 2

Subtract $32$ from both sides of the equation.

$1.8 C = F - 32$

Step 3

Divide each term in $1.8 C = F - 32$ by $1.8$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $1.8 C = F - 32$ by $1.8$ .

$\frac{1.8 C}{1.8} = \frac{F}{1.8} + \frac{- 32}{1.8}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $1.8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1.8 C}{1.8} = \frac{F}{1.8} + \frac{- 32}{1.8}$

Divide $C$ by $1$ .

$C = \frac{F}{1.8} + \frac{- 32}{1.8}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Multiply by $1$ .

$C = \frac{1 F}{1.8} + \frac{- 32}{1.8}$

Factor $1.8$ out of $1.8$ .

$C = \frac{1 F}{1.8 (1)} + \frac{- 32}{1.8}$

Separate fractions.

$C = \frac{1}{1.8} \cdot \frac{F}{1} + \frac{- 32}{1.8}$

Divide $1$ by $1.8$ .

$C = 0.\overline{5} \frac{F}{1} + \frac{- 32}{1.8}$

Divide $F$ by $1$ .

$C = 0.\overline{5} F + \frac{- 32}{1.8}$

Divide $- 32$ by $1.8$ .

$C = 0.\overline{5} F - 17.\overline{7}$
