X = 5/9 (a - 32) solve the equation for a

a=1/5 (9x+160)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5/9 (a-32)

Cross multiply with each other.

9x=5 (a-32)

Use the distributive property to remove the bracket.

9x=5a-5*32

9x=5a-160

Add 160 on both the sides.

9x+160=5a

Divide by 5 on both the sides.

a=1/5 (9x+160)
