Question

The formula K = C + 273 is used to convert temperatures from degrees Celsius to Kelvin. How do you solve this formula for C?

Answer 1

The resulting formula would be `C=K-273`

Explanation:

To rearrange ths formula to calculate Celsius temperature you just have to subtract `273` from both sides:

`K=C+273`

After subtraction:

`K-273=C`

Now you can just change sides to leave the unknown (`C`) on left side::

`C=K-273`
