Question

What value of c makes the equation true? c – 23.7 = 8.5 31.2 15.2 14.2 32.2

Answer 1

32.2 is your answer for c

Explanation:

Note the equation:

c - 23.7 = 8.5

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the c. add 23.7 to both sides

c - 23.7 (+23.7) = 8.5 (+23.7)

c = 8.5 + 23.7

Simplify.

c = 32.2

32.2 is your answer for c
