Question

Solve for the variable: -2c = 10

Answer 1

Hey there, 

Lets solve this together, my friend

Divide both sides by −2 

$c=10/-2$ 

Simplify 10 /−2 to −10 / 2 

$c = -10 / 2$ 

Simplify 10 / 2 to 5 

$c=-5$ 

-------- Check your work  

$-2c=10$ 

Let c=−5 

$-2*-5=10$ 

Simplify 2×−5 to −10 

$10=10$ 

Therefore, the answer is correct!

Answer 2

-2c=10
Dividing both sides by -2
c=$\frac{10}{-2}$
c=-5
