Question

Solve for c.

5c+16.5=13.5+10c

Answer 1

`\boxed{\bold{c=(3)/(5)}}`

Equation:

`\bold{5c+16.5=13.5+10c}`

Step By Step Explanation:

• Subtract 16.5 From Both Sides

`\bold{5c+16.5-16.5=13.5+10c-16.5}`

• Simplify

`\bold{5c=10c-3}`

• Subtract 10c From Both Sides

`\bold{5c-10c=10c-3-10c}`

• Simplify

`\bold{-5c=-3}`

• Divide Both Sides By -5

`\bold{(-5c)/(-5)=(-3)/(-5)}`

• Simplify

`\bold{c=(3)/(5)}`

`\boxed{\bold{\bullet{} \ Mordancy \bullet{}}}`

Answer 2

c = 3/5

Explanation:

5c+16.5=13.5+10c

Subtract 5c from each side

5c-5c+16.5=13.5+10c-5c

16.5 = 13.5 +5c

Subtract 13.5 from each side

16.5 -13.5 =13.5-13.5 +5c

3 = 5c

Divide by 5

3/5 = 5c/5

3/5 =c
