0.2 (10-5) = 5c-16 what is c?

Hey there!

0.2 (10 - 5) = 5c - 16

switch sides:

5c - 16 = 0.2 (10 - 5)

subtract the numbers : 10 - 5 = 5

5c - 16 = 5 * 0.2

multiply the numbers : 0.2 * 5 = 1

5c - 16 = 1

Add 16 to both sides:

5c - 16 = 1 + 16

5c = 17

divide both sides by 5:

5c / 5 = 17 / 5

c = 17 / 5

The answer to your problem should be 0.2=C. If you need me to show work just ask.
