Question

Can someone explain the equation –3c − 10 = –5c − 2

Answer 1

4=c

Explanation:

to find the variable c first you would add 3C to both sides which would give you -10c is equal to -2c - 2

Next you would add two to both sides of the equation which would give you -8 is equal to -2c

then you divide both sides by -2 which would give you 4=c

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

-3c-10=-5c-2

-3c-(-5c)-10=-2

-3c+5c-10=-2

2c-10=-2

2c=-2+10

2c=8

c=8/2

c=4
