Problem:

[tex] - \frac{1}{2}c - 5 = 20[/tex]

  • TOPIC: solving two-step equations

_______

[tex]\colorbox{black}{\color{green}{ \boxed{Solution}}}[/tex]

Isolate the term with c

  • First start by eliminating the constant term (-5) on the left side by adding 5 to both sides of the equation

[tex] - \frac{1}{2} c - 5 + 5 = 20 + 5[/tex]

[tex] - \frac{1}{2} c = 25[/tex]

________________________

Solve for C

  • Multipy both sides both equation by - 2 to get rid of fraction 1/2.

[tex] - 2( - \frac{1}{2} c) = - 22\:•\:5[/tex]

[tex]c = - 50[/tex]

________________________

So, the solution to the equation [tex] - \frac{1}{2}c - 5 = 20[/tex] is [tex]\green{c = - 50} [/tex].
