Solve for cc.

Question

minus, 49, equals, 2, c, minus, 29
−49=
2c−29

Answer 1

To solve the equation $-49=2c-29$ for the variable $c$, we need to isolate $c$ on one side of the equation. Here are the steps to do that:

1. Add 29 to both sides of the equation to move the constant term from the right side to the left side:
$$-49+29=2c-29+29$$

2. Simplify both sides:
$$-20=2c$$

3. To solve for $c$, divide both sides by 2:
$$\frac{-20}{2}=\frac{2c}{2}$$

4. Simplifying the right side, we get:
$$c=-10$$

So, the solution to the equation is $c=-10$.
