The answer is 9.75 the steps are.... first simplify both sides so... <span><span>−<span>1.6<span>(<span><span>2c</span>+12</span>)</span></span></span>=12</span><span><span><span><span>(<span>−1.6</span>)</span><span>(<span>2c</span>)</span></span>+<span><span>(<span>−1.6</span>)</span><span>(12)</span></span></span>=12</span>(Distribute)<span><span><span><span>−<span>3.2c</span></span>+</span>−19.2</span>=12</span><span><span><span>−<span>3.2c</span></span>−19.2</span>=<span>12 then add 19.2 to both sides because your trying to get the c by itself.. </span></span><span><span><span><span>−<span>3.2c</span></span>−19.2</span>+19.2</span>=<span>12+19.2</span></span><span><span>−<span>3.2c</span></span>=<span>31.2 and then finally divides both sides by -3.2 so that c will be by itself AND THEN..you get 9.75</span></span>
