Question

I need a lot of help tonight.
Solve for the indicated variable
4c=d for c

Answer 1

you are just isolating c so what can you do to get c by itself

Answer 2

how would you get rid of the 4 in more basic terms

Answer 3

I do not know- I'm really stuck on all these problems

Answer 4

it is a basic operation just think of something what could you do to get rid of the four

Answer 5

subtract?

Answer 6

that would not isolate c. Think about what is happening right now. You are multiplying c by four how do you undo multiplication

Answer 7

divide

Answer 8

you got it! so with any equation in order to keep it balanced you have to do the same thing to both sides so divide both sides by four and you are able to isolate c

Answer 9

I still need help with the solutions, Im really not understanding this

Answer 10

so you divide both sides by four
\[\frac{ 4c }{ 4 }=\frac{ d }{ 4 }\] and you are left with.....

Answer 11

and remember you are dividing both sides by four because you are multiplying c by 4 and you are trying to get c by itself so what you are doing is undoing the operation

Answer 12

but anything you do to one side of an equation you have to do to the other

Answer 13

going to try
