Question

59-(2c+3)=4(c+7)+c.

Answer 1

c = 4

Explanation:

59 - (2c+3) = 4(c+7) + c

59 - 2c - 3 = 4c + 28 + c

59 - 3 - 28 = 4c + c + 2c

28 = 7c

c = 28 / 7

c = 4

Answer 2

Explanation:

`{:}\leadsto`
`\sf 59-(2c+3)=4 (c+7)+c`

`{:}\leadsto`
`\sf 59-2c-3=4c+28+c`

`{:}\leadsto`
`\sf 56-2c=5c+28`

`{:}\leadsto`
`\sf 5c+28=56-2c`

`{:}\leadsto`
`\sf 5c+2c=56-28`

`{:}\leadsto`
`\sf 7c=28`

`{:}\leadsto`
`\sf c={\frac {28}{7}}`

`{:}\leadsto`
`\sf c=4`
