Question

Solve the equation. 2(5c – 7) = 1

Answer 1

2(5c – 7) = 1

Distribute the 2 into the numbers within the parenthesis

10c-14=1

Add 14 to both sides

10c=15

Divide 10 on both sides

Final Answer: c= 1 1/2 or 1.5

Answer 2

c=3/2 is the final answer. First, you had to divide by two (2) from both sides of equation, and it gave us ⇒ $\frac{2(5c-7)}{2}= \frac{1}{2}$. And secondly, you had to simplify, and it gave us ⇒$5c-7=\frac{1}{2}$. Next, you had to add by seven (7) from both sides of equation, and it gave us ⇒$5c-7+7=\frac{1}{2}+7$. Therefore, you can also simplify, and it gave us ⇒$5c=\frac{15}{2}$. In fact, you divide by five (5) from both sides of equation, and it gave us ⇒$\frac{5c}{5}= \frac{12}{2/5}$. And finally, simplify it's should be the final answer is c=3/2 is the final answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
