Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term and select the missing description. simplify any fractions. $2c + 15 = -11$ $2c = -26$ $c = \square$ add 15 to both sides subtract 15 from both sides multiply both sides by 15 divide both sides by 15 apply the distributive property

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation for 2c=-26

To get from $2c + 15 = -11$ to $2c = -26$, we subtract 15 from both sides:
$2c + 15 - 15 = -11 - 15$

Step2: Solve for c by dividing by 2

Isolate $c$ by dividing both sides of $2c = -26$ by 2:
$c = \frac{-26}{2}$

Answer:

Missing description: Subtract 15 from both sides
$c = -13$
