Hey there!


6/11 = c/11

6(77) = c(11)

6(77) = 11(c)

462 = 11c


We got the new equation above because we had to CROSS MULTIPLY.

11c = 462


DIVIDE 11 to BOTH SIDES

11c/11 = 462/11


CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1

KEEP: 462/11 because it help solve for the c-value


NEW EQUATION: c = 462/11


SIMPLIFY IT!

c = 42


Therefore, your answer is: c = 42


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
