NEED HELP ASAP Alan used the expression StartFraction 5 over 9 EndFraction (F minus 32), where F is a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, to convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius. He evaluated the expression as shown below and found that 45 degrees Fahrenheit was equivalent to โ€“7 degrees Celsius.

StartFraction 5 over 9 EndFraction (F minus 32) = StartFraction 5 over 9 (45 minus 32) = 25 minus 32 = negative 7

What error did Alan make?
He substituted 45 for F instead of โ€“7 and should have found the answer to be Negative 21 and two-thirds degrees Celsius.
He did not combine within the parentheses first before multiplying and should have found the answer to be 7 and StartFraction 2 over 9 EndFraction degrees Celsius.
He multiplied 45 by the fraction incorrectly and should have found the answer to be 49 degrees Celsius.
He divided 5F by 9 before subtracting 32 and should have found the answer to be 21 and StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction degrees Celsius.
