Solve F=9/5*(-3.5)+32

$$F = \frac { 9 } { 5 } \times ( - 3.5 ) + 32$$

Solve for F

$$F=25.7$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert decimal number -3.5 to fraction -\frac{35}{10}. Reduce the fraction -\frac{35}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$F=\frac{9}{5}\left(-\frac{7}{2}\right)+32$$

Multiply \frac{9}{5} times -\frac{7}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$F=\frac{9\left(-7\right)}{5\times 2}+32$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{9\left(-7\right)}{5\times 2}.

$$F=\frac{-63}{10}+32$$

Fraction \frac{-63}{10} can be rewritten as -\frac{63}{10} by extracting the negative sign.

$$F=-\frac{63}{10}+32$$

Convert 32 to fraction \frac{320}{10}.

$$F=-\frac{63}{10}+\frac{320}{10}$$

Since -\frac{63}{10} and \frac{320}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$F=\frac{-63+320}{10}$$

Add -63 and 320 to get 257.

$$F=\frac{257}{10}$$

Assign F

$$F≔25.7$$
