1-3over4 (c+2)=-5
need help n explain it to me
\[1-\frac{3}{4}(c+2)=-5\] is this it? and assuming you need to solve for c
yes
the goal here is to get c all by itself on one side however, if you want to add, subtract, multiply,divide anything to one side to get rid of something, the same must be done to the other side so starting with what's given we want to get rid of the 1 on the left side, this can be done by subtracting one to both sides \[1- \frac{3}{4}(c+2)-1=-5-1\] \[- \frac{3}{4}(c+2)-1=-6\]
can you solve it from here?
umm cant :(
ok well we want to get rid of the -3/4 what can we multiply to that to make it equal to 1?
ok
do u +2 to both sides
is it equal 6 the answer
im going to assume you did all the steps yourself, yes 6 is the answer
actually because you're solving for c the answer is c=6
ok thxs can u jux put that in answer n show all the work please
can u double check this for me
k one sec
yes
k one sec \[1- \frac{3}{4}(c+2)=-5\] \[1- \frac{3}{4}(c+2)-1=-5-1\] \[- \frac{3}{4}(c+2)=-6\] \[(-\frac{4}{3})(- \frac{3}{4})(c+2)=-6(-\frac{4}{3})\] kinda combined multiply by -1, multiplying by 4, and dividing by 3 together \[c+2=8\] \[c+2-2=8-2\] \[c=6\]
remember, anything you do to one side, you always need to do it to the other, otherwise it wouldnt be a balanced equation anymore
