Is c = 11 a solution to this equation?

13 = c + 2

1 answer

To determine if \( c = 11 \) is a solution to the equation \( 13 = c + 2 \), we can substitute \( c \) with 11 and check the validity of the equation.

Starting with the original equation:

\[ 13 = c + 2 \]

Substituting \( c = 11 \):

\[ 13 = 11 + 2 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ 11 + 2 = 13 \]

Now, we have:

\[ 13 = 13 \]

Since both sides of the equation are equal, \( c = 11 \) is indeed a solution to the equation.
