represents for the problem situation. Can you also please try to make it something a little original I need help with this ASAP pls.

Answer 1

Answer: Well C equals 2.5. You could use...

You have 3 sticks. one stick is 15 inches long and the other is 17.50. You want to get a small stick to add to the first one so that the first and last stick is equal to the 2nd stick. C is the third stick. 15+C = 17.50. What is the length of C?

Explanation:

EASY

Move all terms not containing C to the right side of the equation. C = 2.5

Answer 2

The given expression is

`15 + c = 17.50`

We can use this expression to model the cost for a service.

Let's say that your gardener charges an initial amount of $15, and an additional per hour. If the gardener worked only for one hour, and the total cost charged was $17.50, how much was the additional cost?

So, the given expression models this real life situation, we can answer the problem by just solving the equation for
`c`

`15 + c = 17.50`

`c=17.50-15`

`c=2.50`
