Question

solve the equation below. whats the value of c?
\\(\frac{6c + 4}{2} = -2c + 4\\)
\\(3c + 2 = -2c + 4\\)
\\(\underline{+ 2c \quad \quad \quad \quad + 2c}\\)
\\(5c + 2 = 4\\)
\\(c = \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 2 from both sides

We have the equation \(5c + 2 = 4\). Subtract 2 from both sides: \(5c + 2 - 2 = 4 - 2\)

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying gives \(5c = 2\). Then divide both sides by 5: \(c=\frac{2}{5}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{5}\)
