Question

Solve 5c + 4 = −26.

a) 6
b) −6
c) −4.4
d)3

Answer 1

5c+4= -26
subtract 4 on both sides
so 5c+4-4= -26-4
4-4 cancel each other out and -26-4=30
5c=-30
now its mutiplication so you divide
5÷5 cancel each other out
and -30÷5= -6
so
C=-6

Answer 2

You said: 5c + 4 = -26

Subtract 4 from each side: 5c = -30

Divide each side by 5 : c = -6
