Question

(PLEASE HELP) -3C - 6 = -5(c - 2)

Answer 1

The answer is:

⇨ c = 8

Work/explanation:

The objective of this problem is to isolate x. So I focus on the right side:

`\sf{-3c-6=-5(c-2)}`

`\sf{-3c-6=-5c+10}`

Rearrange. All terms that contain c should be on the left.

`\sf{-3c+5c-6=10}`

`\sf{2c-6=10}`

All numbers should be on the right.

`\sf{2c=10+6}`

Simplify

`\sf{2c=16}`

Divide each side by 2.

`\sf{c=8}`

Answer 2

c = 8

Explanation:

-3c - 6 = -5(c - 2)

-3c - 6 = -5c + 10

2c - 6 = 10

2c = 16

c = 8
