-$$\mathrm { F } = \frac { 9 } { 5 } \mathrm { C } + 32 \text {, for } \mathrm { C }$$
A) $C = \frac { F - 32 } { 9 }$
B) $C = \frac { 5 } { F - 32 }$
C) $C = \frac { 5 } { 9 } ( F - 32 )$
D) $C = \frac { 9 } { 5 } ( F - 32 )$

To solve for $C$, subtract 32 from both sides of the equation to get $F - 32 = \frac{9}{5}C$, then multiply both sides by $\frac{5}{9}$ to isolate $C$, resulting in $C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$.
