How do you solve #6+5c=-29#?

Answer 1

Eva Abramson

#c=-7#

#6+5c=-29#

Subtract six from each side now:

#6-6+5c=-29-6#

#5c=-35#

and divide each side by five now:

#(5c)/5=-35/5#

#c=-7#

To solve the equation 6 + 5c = -29, you need to isolate the variable c.

Start by subtracting 6 from both sides to move the constant term to the right side of the equation: 5c = -29 - 6
Simplify the right side: 5c = -35
Divide both sides by 5 to isolate c: c = -35/5
Simplify: c = -7
