Question

the temperature measured in kelvin (k) is the temperature measured in celsius (c) increased by 273.15. this can be modeled by the equation ( k = c + 273.15 ). when solved for ( c ), the equation is \\( c = k - 273.15 \\) \\( c = 273.15 - k \\) \\( c = k + 273.15 \\) \\( c = 273.15k \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate variable C

Start with given equation: $K = C + 273.15$
Subtract 273.15 from both sides: $K - 273.15 = C$

Step2: Rearrange to solve for C

Rewrite to place C on left: $C = K - 273.15$

Answer:

C = K - 273.15
