Question

Solve the literal equation for c 4p+9c=p

Answer 1

4p+9c=p

move 4p to the other side

sign changes from +4p to -4p

4p-4p+9c=p-4p

9c= p-4p

9c= -3p

divide both sides by 9 to get c by itself

9c/9= -3p/9

c= -3p/9

reduce by dividing by 3

-3p/3= -p

9/3= 3

Answer:

c= -p/3

Answer 2

c = -p/3.

Explanation:

4p+9c=p

9c = p - 4p

9c = -3p

c = -3p/9

c = -p/3.
