Write equation: Write down the equation.5c+16.5=13.5+10cWe need to solve for c by isolating it on one side of the equation.
Rearrange equation: Move all terms containing c to one side and constant terms to the other side.Subtract 5c from both sides to move the c terms to the right side.5c+16.5−5c=13.5+10c−5cSimplify the equation.16.5=13.5+5c
Simplify equation: Subtract 13.5 from both sides to isolate the term with c.16.5−13.5=13.5+5c−13.5Simplify the equation.3=5c
Isolate term with c: Divide both sides by 5 to solve for c. 53=55c Simplify the equation. 0.6=c
