Answer:

(I don't know what the question is, but I think your asking for the most possible answer for C.) Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

c/119-214-(809)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

c

Simplify ———

119

Equation at the end of step 1 :

c

(——— - 214) - 809 = 0

119

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 119 as the denominator :

214 214 • 119

214 = ——— = —————————

1 119

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

c - (214 • 119) c - 25466

——————————————— = —————————

119 119

Equation at the end of step 2 :

(c - 25466)

——————————— - 809 = 0

119

Step 3 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 119 as the denominator :

809 809 • 119

809 = ——— = —————————

1 119

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

(c-25466) - (809 • 119) c - 121737

——————————————————————— = ——————————

119 119

Equation at the end of step 3 :

c - 121737

—————————— = 0

119

Step 4 :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

c-121737

———————— • 119 = 0 • 119

119

Now, on the left hand side, the 119 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

c-121737 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2 Solve : c-121737 = 0

Add 121737 to both sides of the equation :

c = 121737
