Answer: c = 2

Explanation:

First you write out your equation: 10c + 20 = 40

Next, since the equation is adding, you can subtract 20 the constant on both sides of the equation:

10c + 20 = 40

- 20 - 20

The 20s cancel each other out and 40 - 20 is 20.

Our new equation looks like: 10c = 20

Now to find the value of C you are going to divide 10 on both sides because the equation is multiplying.

10c divided by 10 is just c and 20 divided by 10 is 2.

Therefore, you are left with c = 2

hope this helps have a nice day :)
