Question about the task

Under discussion

Hi there, So I didn't have a hard time trying to put the code together, but I had a hard time with converting the formula. I haven't been in math class in over a decade, so can someone please explain to me how to get from TC = (TF - 32) * 5/9 to TF = ... Thank you

tf=tc*9/5.0+32 as double is used to calculate in fahrenheit so wee have use 5.0 in place of 5

I haven't been in a math class in 18 years but was able to solve all the tasks that required extra knowledge with a little boost from google: https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/temperature/how-celsius-to-fahrenheit.html

For getting TF from this formula you need to move all elements to other side of sign "=". Firstly, you are moving multiplication's and division's numbers and using multiplication instead division (and reverse accordingly). Secondly, you are moving addition's and subtraction's numbers (in this case only substraction's). And turning substraction to addition.

Please can you show me step by step. Still not getting is right. What am I doing wrong here? TC = (TF -32)5/9 TC / (59) = TF -32 TC / (5*9) + 32 = TF
