Math Problem Statement

Solve the following equation. Write your answer as an integer, proper fraction, or mixed number in simplest form.

11c+4 / 9=6

Solution

To solve the equation:

11c+49=6\frac{11c + 4}{9} = 6

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Eliminate the fraction

Multiply both sides of the equation by 9 to get rid of the denominator.

11c+4=6×911c + 4 = 6 \times 9

11c+4=5411c + 4 = 54

Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides

11c=54411c = 54 - 4

11c=5011c = 50

Step 3: Solve for cc

Now, divide both sides by 11:

c=5011c = \frac{50}{11}

This is already in its simplest form, and cannot be simplified further. Therefore, the solution is:

c=5011c = \frac{50}{11}

This can also be written as a mixed number:

c=4611c = 4 \frac{6}{11}
