Answer: The required solution is c = 2.43.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following linear equation :
[tex]5c-9=8-2c~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]
To solve the given equation, we are to find the value of unknown variable c.
The solution of equation (i) is as follows :
[tex]5c-9=8-2c\\\\\Rightarrow 5c+2c=8+9\\\\\Rightarrow 7c=17\\\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{17}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow c=2.43.[/tex]
Thus, the required solution is c = 2.43.
