The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will break it down into two parts based on the given linear equation that converts Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C): \[ 9C = 5F - 160 \] ### Part 1: Finding Fahrenheit when Celsius is 0 1. **Set C to 0** in the equation: \[ 9(0) = 5F - 160 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = 5F - 160 \] 2. **Rearrange the equation** to isolate \(F\): \[ 5F = 160 \] 3. **Divide both sides by 5** to solve for \(F\): \[ F = \frac{160}{5} = 32 \] Thus, when the temperature is \(0^\circ C\), it is \(32^\circ F\). ### Part 2: Finding Celsius when Fahrenheit is 0 1. **Set F to 0** in the equation: \[ 9C = 5(0) - 160 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9C = -160 \] 2. **Rearrange the equation** to isolate \(C\): \[ C = \frac{-160}{9} \] 3. **Calculate the value**: \[ C \approx -17.78 \] Thus, when the temperature is \(0^\circ F\), it is approximately \(-17.78^\circ C\). ### Final Answers: - When \(0^\circ C\), the temperature is \(32^\circ F\). - When \(0^\circ F\), the temperature is approximately \(-17.78^\circ C\).
