12c = -25

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

to find c you need to divide both sides by the coefficient of c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide both sides by 12

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

for example you have 2x = 6 to get x divide both sides by 2 x = 6/2 x = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then \[\large \frac{12c}{12}=\frac{-25}{12}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

another example: 3c = 4 coefficient of c here is 3 so divide both sides by 3 c = 4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12c = -25 12/12=1 12/-25=0.48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12c = -25 12/12=1 -25/12=-2.083333333333333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what do i do with the two left over numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you got it c=-2.0833 !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if 12/12= 1 and -25/12=2.08333333 would it but 1/2.083333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just divide by 12 and you are left with \[\Large c=\frac{-25}{12}\] \[\Large c=-2.0833\] you were interested in the value of C . right ?
