Q:

3c-2(c+10)=7c-5(c+2)

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: C= -10Step-by-step explanation: First step: simplify both sides of the equation 3cβˆ’2(c+10)=7cβˆ’5(c+2)3c+(βˆ’2)(c)+(βˆ’2)(10)=7c+(βˆ’5)(c)+(βˆ’5)(2) (Distribute)3c+βˆ’2c+βˆ’20=7c+βˆ’5c+βˆ’10(3c+βˆ’2c)+(βˆ’20)=(7c+βˆ’5c)+(βˆ’10) (Combine Like Terms)c + -20 = 2c - 10c - 20 = 2c - 10Step 2: Subtract 2c from both sidesc - 20 - 2c = 2c -10 - 2cβˆ’cβˆ’20=βˆ’10Step 3: Add 20 to both sidesβˆ’cβˆ’20+20=βˆ’10+20βˆ’c=10Step 4: Divide both sides by -1-c/-1 = 10/-1C=-10 Β  Β
