Q. Solve for cc.\newline9c=9|9c| = 9\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinec=c = _____ or c=c = _____
  1. Understand absolute value equation: Understand the absolute value equation.\newlineThe equation 9c=9|9c| = 9 means that the absolute value of 99 times cc is equal to 99.
  2. Set up two equations: Set up two separate equations to solve for cc. Since the absolute value of a number is always non-negative, there are two possibilities for 9c9c: either 9c=99c = 9 or 9c=99c = -9.
  3. Solve first equation: Solve the first equation 9c=99c = 9.\newlineDivide both sides by 99 to isolate cc.\newlinec=99c = \frac{9}{9}\newlinec=1c = 1
  4. Solve second equation: Solve the second equation 9c=99c = -9.\newlineDivide both sides by 99 to isolate cc.\newlinec=9/9c = -9 / 9\newlinec=1c = -1
