Question

What is the solution to 17c+ 3(4-2c) = 5(7c)?

Answer 1

Answer:
`c=(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

To find the solution, we have to solve for c by using inverse properties.

`17c+3(4-2c)=5(7c)` [multiply]

`17c+12-6c=35c` [combine like terms]

`11c+12=35c` [subtract both sides by 11c]

`12=24c` [divide both sides by 24]

`c=(12)/(24)` [simplify]

`c=(1)/(2)`

So the solution is
`c=(1)/(2)`.
