The formula for distributive property is:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
Steps:
so, 2(5c - 7) = 1
1.) 2(5c) - 2(7) = 1
10c - 14 = 1
2.) Add 14 to both sides:
10c - 14 + 14 = 1 + 14
3.) Simplify:
10c = 15
4.) Then, divide both sides by 10:
10c/10 = 15/10
5.) Simplify:
c = 3/2
is the answer.
Hope this helped you solve this question!!!
