Question

– (9 – 5c) + 18 – c = 37 please show your work.

Answer 1

-(9-5c)+18-c=37

First, distribute the negative into parentheses

-9+5c+18-c=37

Now combine like terms

(-9+18)(5c-c)= 9+4c=37

Subtract 9 from both sides

4c= 28

Divide 4 from both sides

c=7

Answer 2

-9 + 5c + 18 - c = 37

4c + 9 = 37
4c = 37 - 9

4c = 28

4c/4 = 28/4

c = 7

hope this helps
