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 \( c = -10 \).
Solve for cc.
minus, 49, equals, 2, c, minus, 29
−49=
2c−29
