Answer:
c = -75/14 OR c = -5.357143
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify both equations:
1.2x + 7 - 5x =
-3.8x + 7
2.2c - 3 = 2(6 - c) + 7c =
c = −5.357143
OR
c = -75/14

Hope this helped!
Your answer would be, C 5/45 and 4/36. In simplified form they both equal 1/9, meaning they are a proportion.
You find the variable x or y in one of the lines of the problem and then substitute the value of the variable you first found into the other line of the problem to find the other variable. Then, you plug all of the values you found into either line/equation of the problem to ensure that one side of the equation you pick is equal to what is on the other side of the "=" symbol.
So first, you get the absolute value to one side:

Next, set up two equations; One where the value inside the absolute value lines is positive, and another where it is negative, and solve both for the variable:

Your answers are
8 and -8, or +-8.
