Question

c - 1/4 = 2

Answer 1

To solve the equation, let's isolate the variable c.

First, we can add 1/4 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side:

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

Simplifying this, we get:

c = 2 + 1/4

Next, we need to add the fractions on the right side:

c = 8/4 + 1/4

Combining these fractions, we get:

c = 9/4

Therefore, the solution to the equation is c = 9/4.
