Answer:

c = -10

Explanation:

Hello!

According to the question we need to solve for c in the equation -49 = 2c - 29

-49 = 2c - 29

Flip the equation

2c - 29 = -49

Add 29 to both sides

2c - 29 + 29 = -49 + 29

2c = -20

Divide both sides by 2 to single out the variable

2c/2 = -20/2

c = -10

So, the value of c is -10
