Question

Solve for c.
-c/2+43 = 50

Answer 1

Hello !

Answer:

`\boxed{\sf c= -14}`

Explanation:

We will try to find the value of c that satisfies the equality.

Given equation:

`\sf -(c)/(2) + 43 = 50`

Subtract 43 from both sides:

`\sf -(c)/(2) + 43 - 43 = 50 - 43 \ \sf -(c)/(2) = 7`

Multiply both sides by -2:

`\sf -(c)/(2) * (-2) = 7 * (-2) \ \ \implies \boxed{\sf c = -14}`

Have a nice day ;)

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{-(c)/(2)+43=50}`

`\large\text{SUBTRACT 43 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{-(c)/(2)+43-43=50-43}`

`\large\textsf{CANCEL out: 43 - 43 because that gives you 0}`

`\large\textsf{KEEP: 50 - 43 because it helps solve for the c-value}`

`\mathsf{50 - 43 = \bf 7}`

`\large\text{NEW EQUATION: }\mathsf{-(c)/(2)=7}`

`\large\textsf{MULTIPLY }\mathsf{(2)/(-1)}\large\textsf{ to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{(2)/(-1)*-(c)/(2)= (2)/(-1)*7}`

`\large\textsf{CANCEL out: your RIGHT SIDE of the equation because that gives}\\\large\textsf{you 1}`

`\large\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{(2)/(-1)*7}\large\textsf{ because that helps solve for the c-value}`

`\uparrow\large\text{SIMPLIFY THE EQUATION ABOVE \& YOU HAVE YOUR}\\\large\text{C-VALUE}\uparrow`

`\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{ANSWER: \huge\bf c = -14}}}\huge\checkmark`
