Question

Solve for c. c−1.5+6.8=0.6

Answer 1

c-1.5+6.8=0.6

1.5+6.8=8.3

c-8.3=0.6

c-8.3+8.3=0.6+8.3

c=0.6+8.3

0.6+8.3=8.9

c=8.9

Answer 2

c − 1.5 + 6.8 = 0.6

Take away 6.8 from both sides:

c − 1.5 = 0.6 - 6.8

c − 1.5 = -6.2

Add 1.5 to both sides:

c  = -6.2 + 1.5

c  = - 4.7

Answer: c = -4.7
