3 = (c + 8) / 5
c = 2
c = 7
To solve the equation (3 = frac{(c + 8)}{5}), we can follow these steps:
1. Multiply both sides by 5 to eliminate the fraction:
[
3 times 5 = c + 8
]
[
15 = c + 8
]
2. Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate (c):
[
15 – 8 = c
]
[
c = 7
]
So, the correct value of (c) is (7).
This means the other option (c = 2) is incorrect. If you have further questions, feel free to ask!
