Answer 1

ok I am going to explain this step by step I am not going to just give you the answer

Answer 2

@kbbbb are you still there

Answer 3

Okay thanks

Answer 4

Ok the fist step is to combine like terms for example if I had b + 2b - 7 = 100 I would combine b and 2b giving me 3b but if it was b - 2b - 7 = 100 I would combine b and 2b giving me -b. So what would happen when you combine 5c and c.

5c - c + 10 = 34.

Answer 5

@kbbbb

Answer 6

you still there

Answer 7

Yeah

Answer 8

what would happen when you combine 5c with -c

Answer 9

Answer 10

come on I am not just going to give you the answer I am going to teach you how to do this.

Answer 11

@kbbb what is 5c-c

Answer 12

5?

Answer 13

no 4c because c stands for 1c 5-1=4

Answer 14

4c + 10 = 34

Answer 15

Ohhhhhhhh

Answer 16

So is c just a missing number?

Answer 17

no it is 1 times whatever c equals same for 5c it is just 5 times whatever c equals

Answer 18

Oh okay

Answer 19

the next step is to get rid of the 10

Answer 20

you do that by subtracting it from both sides

Answer 21

Okay

Answer 22

what do you get?

Answer 23

Hint: when you subtract 10 from both sides it does not affect the 4c in any way

Answer 24

yes 4c=24 now you have one more step and that is to divide each side by 4 this does affect the 4c by eliminating the 4

Answer 25

What is the full problem right now..? I'm kind of confused of what the problem is supposed to look like..

Answer 26

so c=?

Answer 27

the problem looks like 4c=24 divide each side by 4 to get rid of the 4 and get the c by its self

Answer 28

So 6?

Answer 29

yes 6 can i have a medal
