Answer 2

Answer: The required solution is c = 2.43.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following linear equation :

`5c-9=8-2c~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

To solve the given equation, we are to find the value of unknown variable c.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

`5c-9=8-2c\\\\\Rightarrow 5c+2c=8+9\\\\\Rightarrow 7c=17\\\\\Rightarrow c=(17)/(7)\\\\\Rightarrow c=2.43.`

Thus, the required solution is c = 2.43.
