Answer: c = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

$5(2c-3)=3(3c-5)$

Distribute 5 and 3

$10c-15=9c-15$

add 15

$10c-15+15=9c-15+15$

$10c=9c$

subtract 9c

$10c-9c=0\\c=0$

Answer:

c=0

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2c-3)=3(3c-5)

Expand parentheses:

10c-15=9c-15

Add 15 to both sides:

10c=9c

The only way that this could be possible is if c was 0. Hope this helps!

A line has a rise of 6 and a slope of 1/20 . What is the run?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{ Slope }=\frac{\text{ Rise }}{\text{ Run }}$ .

Plug in the information given:

$\frac{1}{20}=\frac{6}{\text{ Run }}$ .

Now we want to solve this equation for Run.

If you don't like Run as a variable, let's just use x in it's place:

$\frac{1}{20}=\frac{6}{x}$

Cross multiply:

$1(x)=20(6)$

Simplify both sides:

$x=120$

The run is 120.

Let's check our work.

$\text{ Slope }=\frac{\text{ Rise }}{\text{ Run }}$ .

So if our rise is 6 and our run is 120.

Does 6/120 reduce to 1/20?

6 and 120 do have a common factor of 6.

So if you divide top and bottom of 6/120 by 6 you do get 1/20.
