Question

-12=15c+3/6 what is the answer

Answer 1

First, I would switch the sides of the equation around.

15c + 3/6 = -12

Then, simplify the equation.

15c + 1/2 = -12

Now, we need to get 15c alone since it carries the variable. We can do this by canceling 1/2 out by subtracting 1/2. Remember what you do to one side you must do to the other.

15c +1/2 = -12
       -1/2    -1/2 
               ↓
        15c = -12.5

Next, get c by itself by dividing both sides by 15, because what you do to one side you must do to the other .

15c ÷ 15 = -12.5 ÷ 15
               ↓
          c = -5/6
