Answer 1

c

Explanation:

right on edmentum

Answer 2

b = 1/4c + 14
d = 5/4c - 2
b = d

1/4c + 14 = 5/4c - 2
1/4c - 5/4c = -2 - 14
-c = - 16
c = 16 <=== chris got 16 correct

b = 1/4c + 14
b = 1/4(16) + 14
b = 4 + 14
b = 18 <=== Brian got 18 correct

d = 5/4c - 2
d = 5/4(16) - 2
d = 20 - 2
d = 18 <=== damien got 18 right also
