Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term on each line. simplify any fractions. 2(c + 3) = 10 c + 3 = \boxed{} divide both sides by 2 c = \boxed{} subtract 3 from both sides

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2(c+3)}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$
Simplify to get $c + 3 = 5$

Step2: Subtract 3 from both sides

$c + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3$
Simplify to get $c = 2$

Answer:

$c + 3 = 5$
$c = 2$
