Question

2(c+1)=10 solve for c

Answer 1

`\boxed{\sf c=4}`

Explanation:

`\sf 2(c+1)=10`

Distribute:-

`\sf 2c+2=10`

Subtract 2 from both sides:-

`\sf 2c+2-2=10-2`

`\sf 2c=8`

Divide both sides by 2:-

`\sf \cfrac{2c}{2}=\cfrac{8}{2}`

`\sf c=4`

Therefore, c = 4!!!

Answer 2

c = 4

Explanation:

Solve for c:

2 (c + 1) = 10

Divide both sides of 2 (c + 1) = 10 by 2:

(2 (c + 1))/2 = 10/2

2/2 = 1:

c + 1 = 10/2

The gcd of 10 and 2 is 2, so 10/2 = (2×5)/(2×1) = 2/2×5 = 5:

c + 1 = 5

Subtract 1 from both sides:

c + (1 - 1) = 5 - 1

1 - 1 = 0:

c = 5 - 1

5 - 1 = 4:

Answer: c = 4
