Question

solve for c.
18 = 4(c - 13) + 2
c =
save answer

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 2 from both sides

$18 - 2 = 4(c - 13) + 2 - 2$
$16 = 4(c - 13)$

Step2: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{16}{4} = \frac{4(c - 13)}{4}$
$4 = c - 13$

Step3: Add 13 to both sides

$4 + 13 = c - 13 + 13$
$17 = c$

Answer:

$17$
