Q. Solve for c. Express your answer as a proper or improper fraction in simplest terms.−61=−21−61cAnswer: c=
Write Equation: Write down the given equation.−61=−21−61c
Isolate c: To isolate c, we need to get rid of the fractions. To do this, we can find a common denominator for the fractions, which in this case is 6. However, since the denominators are already the same, we can simply subtract the fractions on the right side.−61=−21−61cTo subtract the fractions, we convert −21 to a fraction with a denominator of 6.−21=−63Now we have:−61=−63−61c
Combine Fractions: Combine the fractions on the right side of the equation.−61=−(63+61c)−61=−(63+c)
Equate Numerators: Since the fractions on both sides of the equation have the same denominator, we can equate their numerators.−1=−3−c
Add 3: Add 3 to both sides of the equation to solve for c. −1+3=−3+3−c2=−c
Multiply by −1: Multiply both sides by −1 to get the positive value of c.−1×2=−1×−c−2=c
