Solve for c.

9 = 2(c + 3) + 1

c =

Answer 1

c = 1

Explanation:

Given

9 = 2(c + 3) + 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify right side

9 = 2c + 6 + 1

9 = 2c + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

2 = 2c ( divide both sides by 2 )

1 = c

Answer 2

`c = 1`

Explanation:

`9 = 2(c + 3) + 1 \\ 9 = 2c + 6 + 1 \\ 9 = 2c + 7 \\ 9 - 7 = 2c \\ 2 = 2c \\ c = (2)/(2) \\ c = 1`
