Even numbers can be divided into two equal groups while odd numbers cannot so every other number is an even number because it can be divided into two equal groups
Review your notes and have a friend test you on them. Go over anything you had trouble on by reading it 10 times, writing it 10 times, and saying it out loud 2 times. It should help you remember and good luck! :)
The first step in solving the problem is to distribute the 8. We know this because of the system or order of operations as well as the distributive property.
8(2+7c)=-19
16+56c=-19
The next step in solving is to isolate the variable, which we can do by performing the opposite operations of the values
16+56c=-19
-16 -16
56c=-35
/56 /56
c=-35/56
Finally, we should put our equation in simplest form.
c=-35/56
c=-5/8=-.625
Using the math above, we can see that the value of the variable is -5/8 or -.625.
