Question

16c-24=4c-144 can you please explain how to do this equation

Answer 1

Answer:

c = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

16c -24=4c -144

Subtract 4c from both sides

16c - 4c - 24 = 4c - 4c - 144

12c - 24 = -144

Add 24 to both sides

12c -24 + 24 = -144 + 24

12c = -120

Note: -144 + 24 = -120

12c = -120

Divide both sides by 12

12c/12 = -120/12

c = -10

Note: 12/12 = 1 and -120/12 = -10

Checking :

16c -24=4c -144

Put c = -10

16(-10) - 24 = 4(-10) - 144

-160 - 24 = -40 - 144

-184 = -184

Therefore

c = -10

Answer 2

Answer:

c= -10

Step-by-step explanation:

16c-24=4c-144

+24        +24

16c=4c-144+24

16c=4c-120

-4c       -4c

12c=-120

:12       :12

c=-120/12

c= -10
