c=\frac{5}{9}f-\frac{160}{9}
Use the distributive property to multiply f-32 by \frac{5}{9}.
\frac{5}{9}f-\frac{160}{9}=c
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{5}{9}f=c+\frac{160}{9}
Add \frac{160}{9} to both sides.
\frac{\frac{5}{9}f}{\frac{5}{9}}=\frac{c+\frac{160}{9}}{\frac{5}{9}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{5}{9}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
f=\frac{c+\frac{160}{9}}{\frac{5}{9}}
Dividing by \frac{5}{9} undoes the multiplication by \frac{5}{9}.
f=\frac{9c}{5}+32
Divide c+\frac{160}{9} by \frac{5}{9} by multiplying c+\frac{160}{9} by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{9}.
c=\frac{5}{9}f-\frac{160}{9}
Use the distributive property to multiply f-32 by \frac{5}{9}.
