4∣3c+5∣=16c I know the answer is five but I don't know how to get there

, explanation for how to get there

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have the equation , we want to isolate c on one side and find it's value.

Let's first divide both sides by 4.

Now let's solve for the absolute value. We know that:

or

Possibility 1:

Subtract 3c from both sides:

Possibility 2:

Add 4c to both sides:

Subtract 5 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 7:

Plugging both of these values into the equation, we can see that only 5 works.

Hope this helped!
