Question

how would you solve 4c + 11 = -25? explain how in complete sentences and list the solution. (yall im so lost in class rn, i need this)

Answer 1

c= -9

Explanation:

1. 4c + 11 = -25

2. Put all like terms together and change the sign. In this case, the +11 will go to the right with the -25 and it will become -11.

Therefore:

4c= -25 -11

4c= -36

3. Make c the subject. Since 4 is being multiplied by c, when it goes to the right, it will divide.

Therefore:

c= -36/4

c= -9

Answer 2

c = -9

Explanation:

4c + 11 = -25

4c = -25 - 11

4c = -36

c = -36 : 4

c = -9

or

4c + 11 + 25 = 0

4c + 36 = 0

c = (-36)/4

c = -9

-------------------

check

4 *(-9) + 11 = -25

-36 + 11 = -25

-25 = -25

the answer is good
