Question

Solve |2c+8|=|10c| I don't understand how to do it can you please help? Please explain it if you can so I know for the test.

Answer 1

1 or - 2/3

Explanation:

|2c+8|=|10c|

1) 2C+8 = 10C

8C = 8

C = 1

2) 2C+8 = - 10C

- 12C = 8

C = - 8/12 = -2/3

Answer 2

you can do anything you want to equation as long as you do the same thing to both sides so you want to manipulate the equation where c is isolated so you would subtract 2c from both sides leaving you 8=8c then you will divide both sides by 8 leaving you a c=1
