Question

For what value of the variable is the value of 3−5c one less than the value of 1−c?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 - 5c < 1 - c

3 - 5c - 3 < 1 - c -3

- 5c < - 2 - c

-5c + c < -2 -c +c

-4c < -2

-4c/-4 > -2/-4

c > 1/2

hence , the value of variable must be 1/2  for holding such condition

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

c = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets set up an equation.

You can get

3-5c + 1 = 1-c to show that it is one less.

now we can solve it.

So by combining like terms, we get:

4-5c = 1-c

that then becomes:

3-5c = -c

which becomes 3 = 4c

then c = 3/4
