Answer:

C = 55

Explanation:

To figure out c you must first isolate c so there shouldn't be any other numbers or signs (addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication) on the same side of the equal sign as variable C.

The inverse of dividing 22 is multiplying 22 on both sides of the equation.

You would get 22/1 * 5/2 = C. 22 * 5 is 110 and 1 * 2 is still 2 so 110/2 = C.

Enter 110/2 into the calculator and you would get C = 55

Answer:

c = 55

Explanation:

I would solve this by cross multiplying, but some teachers don't appreciate you skipping a step like that. Instead:


(5)/(2) =(c)/(22)

First, multiply both sides by 2:


5=(2c)/(22)

Then, multiply both sides by 22:


2c=110

Now, just solve for c by dividing both sides by 2:


c=55
