18. Find the value of [tex]$x$[/tex] and [tex]$y$[/tex] in the equation [tex]$3(x-1) = 2(y+3) + 3$[/tex].

(1) If the temperature of a liquid can be measured in Celsius [tex]$(x)$[/tex] and in Fahrenheit [tex]$(y)$[/tex], the temperature is given by [tex]$y = \frac{9}{5}(x - 2) + 32$[/tex].

(i) Find the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit [tex]$(F)$[/tex], if the temperature of the liquid is [tex]$513^{\circ} K$[/tex].

(ii) If the temperature is [tex]$158^{\circ} F$[/tex], then find the temperature in Kelvin [tex]$(K)$[/tex].



Answer :

Sure, I will walk you through the solution in detail.

(i) Find the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit (°F) if the temperature of the liquid is 513 K (Kelvin):

1. Convert Kelvin to Celsius:
The relationship between Kelvin and Celsius is given by the formula:
[tex]\[ C = K - 273.15 \][/tex]
where [tex]\( K \)[/tex] is the temperature in Kelvin and [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the temperature in Celsius.

Given [tex]\( K = 513 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ C = 513 - 273.15 = 239.85 \, ^\circ C \][/tex]

2. Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit:
The relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit is given by the formula:
[tex]\[ F = \left(\frac{9}{5} \times C\right) + 32 \][/tex]
where [tex]\( F \)[/tex] is the temperature in Fahrenheit and [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the temperature in Celsius.

Using [tex]\( C = 239.85 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ F = \left(\frac{9}{5} \times 239.85\right) + 32 = 431.73 + 32 = 463.73 \, ^\circ F \][/tex]

Therefore, the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit is [tex]\( 463.73 \, ^\circ F \)[/tex].

(ii) Find the temperature of the liquid in Kelvin (K) if the temperature of the liquid is 158°F:

1. Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius:
The relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius is given by the formula:
[tex]\[ C = \left(F - 32\right) \times \frac{5}{9} \][/tex]
where [tex]\( F \)[/tex] is the temperature in Fahrenheit and [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the temperature in Celsius.

Given [tex]\( F = 158 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ C = \left(158 - 32\right) \times \frac{5}{9} = 126 \times \frac{5}{9} = 70 \, ^\circ C \][/tex]

2. Convert Celsius to Kelvin:
The relationship between Celsius and Kelvin is given by the formula:
[tex]\[ K = C + 273.15 \][/tex]
where [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the temperature in Celsius and [tex]\( K \)[/tex] is the temperature in Kelvin.

Using [tex]\( C = 70 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ K = 70 + 273.15 = 343.15 \, K \][/tex]

Therefore, the temperature of the liquid in Kelvin is [tex]\( 343.15 \, K \)[/tex].

These detailed steps should clarify how the temperature conversions are carried out effectively.
