Question

PLZZ HELP 40 POINTS Student A completed an equation with variables on both sides. Did the student correctly solve the following equation? Describe and correct the error in solving the equation below.

5c - 6 = 4 - 3c

2c - 6 = 4

2c = 10

c = 5

Answer 1

The correct answer is c=5/4

Explanation:

5c - 6 = 4 - 3c

5c + 3c - 6 = 4

5c + 3c = 4 + 6

8c = 4 + 6

8c = 10

c = 5/4

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

No, because when the student tried to move the 3c over to the other side they needed to add it. When they put it on the other side they subtracted it.

5c - 6 = 4 - 3c

8c - 6 = 4

8c = 10

c = 10/8
