Answer:


{\boxed{\tt{c = 2}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept :

Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

  • Step 1 :- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.
  • Step 2 :- then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.
  • Step 3 :- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.
  • Step 4 :- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.
  • Step 5 :- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.


\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}

Solution :


\implies{\tt{9c + 6 = 24}}


\implies{\tt{9c = 24 - 6}}


\implies{\tt{9c = 18}}


\implies{\tt{c = (18)/(9)}}


\implies{\tt{c = \cancel{(18)/(9)}}}


\implies{\tt{c = 2}}


\star{\underline{\boxed{\tt{\red{c = 2}}}}}

Hence, the value of c is 2.

Answer:

c = 2

Explanation:

Isolate the variable, c. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtractions

~

First, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

9c + 6 (-6) = 24 (-6)

9c = 24 - 6

9c = 18

Next, divide 9 from both sides of the equation:

(9c)/9 = (18)/9

c = 18/9

c = 2

c = 2 is your answer.
