she’s incorrect.

step 1: 14c = 98

divide both sides by 14

step 2: c= 7

and there should only be 1 solution

Answer:

Part A: She is wrong

Part B: One solution

Explanation:

Casey's answer is wrong because she should have divided it by 14 not transpose 14

14c=98

divide both sides by 14

14c/14=98/14

c=7
