enter the value of c when the expression 21.2x+c is equivalent to 5.3(4x-2.6). PLEASE GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION AS WELL. I DON’T WANT JUST AN ANSWER.

Well, I will not just give you a straight answer, since I do not have the resources to currently do so. But as a tip, I would try the substitution method to get rid of the ‘x’ variable and just solve for ‘c’ like normal. Your main expression should look like this, I believe:

21.2x+c = 5.3(4x-2.6)

To substitute h the is out, you could write this if it feels better for you:

21x+c = y and 5.3(4x-2.6) = y

Hope this helps!
