Question

33-(2c+4)=2(c +7)+c

what is C?

Answer 1

x=4.6

Explanation:

Because we are finding C, first use the distributive property.

33-(2c+4)=2(c+7)+c can turn into:

33-2c+4=2c+14+c

Now, combine like terms.

33+4=37

2c+c=3c

Now you are left with:

37-2c=3c+14

Now, add 2c on both sides.

37=5x+14

Next, subtract 14 on both sides.

37-14=23

23=5x

Finally, divide by 5 on both sides

x=4.6
