Reagan is 3.5 inches shorter than Cassidy. If Reagan is 39 inches tall, which equation could you use to find Cassidy's height? (1 point)

Responses

c - 3.5 = 39
c - 3.5 = 39

3.5 - c = 39
3.5 - c = 39

39 - 3.5 = c
39 - 3.5 = c

39 - c = 3.5

1 answer

The correct equation to find Cassidy's height based on the information given is:

c - 3.5 = 39

This equation states that Cassidy's height (c) minus 3.5 inches (which is how much shorter Reagan is than Cassidy) equals Reagan's height (39 inches).
