answer

Solve the equation for c: 17/4 = c - 3/4

Solution

It seems like the extracted text wasn't completely clear. However, from the image, I can manually interpret the equation as follows:

174=c34\frac{17}{4} = c - \frac{3}{4}

To solve for cc, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Add 34\frac{3}{4} to both sides.

174+34=c\frac{17}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = c

Step 2: Simplify the left-hand side.

17+34=c\frac{17 + 3}{4} = c 204=c\frac{20}{4} = c c=5c = 5

So, the solution is c=5c = 5.
