Question

Solve the equation.

3.4= -13.6 + (-3.4c) + 1.7c

Answer 1

First you add like terms together. -3.4c + 1.7c which gives you -1.7c. Then,

3.4=-13.6-1.7c. Now you want to combine the other like term together,

add 13.6 to the left side, and you get

17=-1.7c. Divide by -1.7c and solve for c which gives you... c=-10

Answer 2

-1.7c
