Set up the equation where the temperature in Fahrenheit is equal to the temperature in Celsius:

F = C

Substitute the expression for Fahrenheit from the conversion formula into the equation:

\frac{9}{5} C + 32 = C

Solve the equation for

C

. Start by isolating

C

on one side of the equation. Subtract

C

from both sides:

\frac{9}{5} C - C = - 32
