Hello!
The solution to the problem 2c - 5 = 15 is
c = 10
Explanation:
The first step is to add 5 to both sides of the equation.
2c - 5 = 15
2c - 5 + 5 = 15 + 5
The second step is to simplify by adding the numbers.
2c - 5 + 5 = 15 + 5
2c = 20
The third step is to divide both sides of the equation by the same factor.
2c = 20
2c ÷ 2 = 20 ÷ 2
The fourth step is to simply by canceling out the numbers which are present in both the denominator and numerator, then divide.
2c ÷ 2 = 20 ÷ 2
c = 10
Hope this helped!
