Chapter 4.4, Problem 1CYU

To determine

To calculate:To solve the equation and check the solution

Answer to Problem 1CYU

Solution is $c=-13$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Equation is $5c=-65$

Calculation:

Given equation is as follows:

  $5c=-65$

On solving the equation,

  $\begin{array}{l}c=\frac{-65}{5}\\ c=-13\end{array}$

Now, in order to check the solution, substitute $c=-13$ in equation $5c=-65$

Left hand side of equation is solved as follows:

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 5\left(-13\right)\\ \Rightarrow -65\end{array}$

Since, Left hand side of equation is equal to right hand side

Thus, $c=-13$ is solution of equation $5c=-65$

Conclusion:

Hence,solution is $c=-13$
