7c/12 + 5c/16 = 15/48 + c Solve for the unknown variable
Solution
Given that
7c/12 + 5c/16 = 15/48 + c
( 28c + 15c ) / 48 = (15/48) + c
43c / 48 = (15/48 ) + c
( 43c / 48 ) - c = 15/48
(43c - 48c) / 48 = 15 / 48
-5c / 48 = 15 / 48
If denominators are equal on both sides of equation then equating the numerators
-5c = 15
c = - 15 / 5
c = - 3
Therefore,
c = - 3
