Question

Responses

39 - c = 3.5
39 - c = 3.5

39 - 3.5 = c
39 - 3.5 = c

c - 3.5 = 39
c - 3.5 = 39

3.5 - c = 39

Answer 1

To find Cassidy's height based on the information provided, we need to express Cassidy's height in relation to Reagan's height. Since Reagan is 3.5 inches shorter than Cassidy, we can write the equation as:

\[ c - 3.5 = 39 \]

This means that Cassidy's height (c) minus 3.5 inches equals Reagan's height (39 inches).

Therefore, the correct equation to use is:

c - 3.5 = 39.
