Question

Which of the given values is a solution to the equation 8c+3=−40c−10?

Answer 1

`\boxed{\bold{C \ = \ (-13)/(48) \ or \ -0.27083333333}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

8c + 3 = −40c − 10

[ Step 1: Add 40c to both sides ]

8c + 3 + 40c = −40c − 10 + 40c

48c + 3 = −10

[ Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides ]

48c + 3 − 3 = −10 − 3

48c = −13

[ Step 3: Divide both sides by 48 ]

48c / 48 = −13 / 48

C = -13 / 48 or -0.27083333333
