Answer:
c = 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
5c+16.5=13.5+10c
Subtract 5c from each side
5c-5c+16.5=13.5+10c-5c
16.5 = 13.5 +5c
Subtract 13.5 from each side
16.5 -13.5 =13.5-13.5 +5c
3 = 5c
Divide by 5
3/5 = 5c/5
3/5 =c
X^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
x^2 + 7x + x + 7 = 0
x(x + 7) + 1(x + 7) = 0
(x + 7) (x + 1) = 0
x = -7 or x = -1
let's convert firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then add up.
