You would divide negative 3 (-3) from both sides to keep the c by itself. When you divide a positive by a negative it becomes negative.
Dividing 15 by -3 would equal -5, so c = -5

So if you think about it, this problem isn't that hard. So say it's 12:59, the total sum of those digits would be 71. If it was 1:11, then the sum would be 3. If it was 3:47, the sum would be 50. So now, you have to find the time where it would be the least possible sum. that time would be 1:00 because 1+0+0=1
Answer: The length of the rectangle is 15 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the rectangle.
Let W represent the width of the rectangle.
The perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as 2 length + 2 width
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
The rectangle has a perimeter of 52 inches. It means that
2(L + W) = 52
L + W = 52/2 = 26 - - - - - - - 1
The length of the rectangle is 4 inches more than its width. It means that
L = W + 4
Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes
W + 4 + W = 26
2W = 26 - 4 = 22
W = 22/2 = 11
L = W + 4 = 11 + 4 = 15
