What is the value of C?14 = -2C - 6 – 3C ​

Mathematics

Answer:

C = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms (terms with the same amount of variables):

14 = -2C - 3C - 6

14 = (-2C - 3C) - 6

14 = (-5C) - 6

Isolate the variable, C. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents & Roots

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction.

First, add 6 to both sides:

14 (+6) = -5C - 6 (+6)

14 + 6 = -5C

-5C = 20

Next, divide -5 from both sides:

(-5C)/-5 = (20)/-5

C = 20/-5

C = -4

-4 is your value for C.

Answer:

-4 =C

Step-by-step explanation:

14 = -2C - 6 – 3C

Combine like terms

14 = -5C - 6

Add 6 to each side

14+6 = -5C -6+6

20 = -5C

Divide each side by -5

20/-5 = -5C/-5

-4 =C

Answer:

A)14v + 16b = 1152

10v + 13b = 925

B)Number of students in a van = 8

Number of students in each bus = 65

C) Elimination method was easier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the number of students in a van

Let b be number of students in a bus

A) We are told the first school can fill 14 vans and 16 buses with 1152 students

Thus;

14v + 16b = 1152 - - - - - (eq 1)

Also,we are told that the second school can fill 10 vans and 13 buses with 925 students.

Thus;

10v + 13b = 925 - - - - (eq 2)

B) To solve this we will use elimination method.

Multiply eq (1) by 5 and multiply eq (2) by 7 to give;

70v + 80b = 5760 - - - - eq(3)

70v + 91b = 6475 - - - - - eq(4)

Subtract eq(3) from eq(4) to give;

91b - 80b = 6475 - 5760

11b = 715

b = 715/11

b = 65

Put 65 for b in eq(3) to give;

70v + 80(65) = 5760

70v = 5760 - 80(65)

70v = 560

v = 560/70

v = 8

Number of students in a van = 8

Number of students in each bus = 65

C) Elimination method was used because in both equations, we had different digits attached and so it would have been more tedious to use substitution method or graphical method. Thus, elimination method was more easier.
