Full solution

Q. Solve for cc.\newline12c=2(12c3)\frac{1}{2}c = 2\left(\frac{1}{2}c - 3\right)\newlinec = ____
  1. Distribute terms: Distribute the 22 on the right side of the equation.\newlineCalculation: 2(12c3)=2×12c2×3=c62(\frac{1}{2}c - 3) = 2 \times \frac{1}{2}c - 2 \times 3 = c - 6\newlineMath error check:
  2. Set up equation: Set up the equation with the distributed terms.\newlineCalculation: 12c=c6\frac{1}{2}c = c - 6\newlineMath error check:
  3. Subtract to isolate: Subtract cc from both sides to isolate terms with cc on one side.\newlineCalculation: 12cc=6\frac{1}{2}c - c = -6\newlineMath error check:
  4. Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the left side.\newlineCalculation: 12c=6-\frac{1}{2}c = -6\newlineMath error check:
  5. Multiply to solve: Multiply both sides by 2-2 to solve for cc.\newlineCalculation: (12c)2=62\left(-\frac{1}{2}c\right) \cdot -2 = -6 \cdot -2\newlineMath error check:
