Question

Tell what you would do to isolate the variable. -5c = 5/24

Answer 1

To isolate the variable here is what you would do:

−5c= $\frac{5}{24}$

Step 1: Divide both sides by -5.

$\frac{-5c}{-5}$ = $\frac{5}{24}$ (A five was supposed to go underneath the 24 to show the division but whatever)

Answer: c=$\frac{-1}{24}$

Answer 2

-5c = 5/24

-5c /5= 5/24 /5

- c = 1/24

c = - 1/24
