Question

$$0.25c+5=0.5c-2.5$$

Solve for c

$c=30$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $0.5c$ from both sides.

$$0.25c+5-0.5c=-2.5$$

Combine $0.25c$ and $-0.5c$ to get $-0.25c$.

$$-0.25c+5=-2.5$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$-0.25c=-2.5-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-2.5$ to get $-7.5$.

$$-0.25c=-7.5$$

Divide both sides by $-0.25$.

$$c=\frac{-7.5}{-0.25}$$

Expand $\frac{-7.5}{-0.25}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $100$.

$$c=\frac{-750}{-25}$$

Divide $-750$ by $-25$ to get $30$.

$$c=30$$
