Question

If 2c - 5 = 3d + 4, what does c equal, in terms of d?

Answer 1

`d. \: (3d + 9)/(2)`

Explanation:

Follow the steps below.

`2c - 5 = 3d + 4 \\ 2c = 3d + 9 \\ c = (3)/(2) d + (9)/(2) \: or \: c = (3d + 9)/(2)`

So D is correct.

Answer 2

D.
`(3d+9)/(2)`

Explanation:

2c - 5 = 3d + 4

Isolate 2c.

2c = 3d + 4 + 5

Simplify.

2c = 3d + 9

(2c ÷ 2 = c) Find c.

c =
`(3d+9)/(2)`
