Question

c-1/4=2

Answer 1

To solve for c, we need to isolate c on one side of the equation.

Starting with c - 1/4 = 2

First, we can add 1/4 to both sides of the equation to get c on one side by itself.

c - 1/4 + 1/4 = 2 + 1/4

This simplifies to:

c = 2 + 1/4

Next, we can convert 2 to the same denominator as 1/4 (which is 4/4) to add them together:

c = 8/4 + 1/4

Combining the fractions:

c = 9/4

Therefore, the solution is c = 9/4 or c = 2.25.
