Answer:

[tex]C = 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32[/tex]

Required

Find C when [tex]F = 41[/tex]

We have:

[tex]F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32[/tex]

Substitute 41 for F

[tex]41 = \frac{9}{5}C + 32[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\frac{9}{5}C = 41- 32[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{5}C = 9[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 5/9

[tex]C = 9 * \frac{5}{9}[/tex]

[tex]C = 5[/tex]
