Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term and select the missing description. simplify any fractions. 18c + 2 = 20; 18c = 18; c = blank divide both sides by 18

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation for 18c + 2 = 18c

To get from \(18c + 2 = 20\) to \(18c = 18\), we subtract 2 from both sides. So the missing description is "Subtract 2 from both sides".

Step2: Solve for c

We have \(18c = 18\) and we divide both sides by 18. So \(c=\frac{18}{18}=1\).

Answer:

First missing term (description): Subtract 2 from both sides; Second missing term (value of c): 1
