Q. Solve for c c . Express your answer as a proper or improper fraction in simplest terms.\newline16=1216c -\frac{1}{6}=-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6} c \newlineAnswer: c= c=
  1. Write Equation: Write down the given equation.\newline16=1216c-\frac{1}{6} = -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6}c
  2. Isolate c: To isolate c, we need to get rid of the fractions. To do this, we can find a common denominator for the fractions, which in this case is 66. However, since the denominators are already the same, we can simply subtract the fractions on the right side.\newline16=1216c-\frac{1}{6} = -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6}c\newlineTo subtract the fractions, we convert 12-\frac{1}{2} to a fraction with a denominator of 66.\newline12=36-\frac{1}{2} = -\frac{3}{6}\newlineNow we have:\newline16=3616c-\frac{1}{6} = -\frac{3}{6} - \frac{1}{6}c
  3. Combine Fractions: Combine the fractions on the right side of the equation.\newline16=(36+16c)-\frac{1}{6} = -\left(\frac{3}{6} + \frac{1}{6}c\right)\newline16=(3+c6)-\frac{1}{6} = -\left(\frac{3 + c}{6}\right)
  4. Equate Numerators: Since the fractions on both sides of the equation have the same denominator, we can equate their numerators.\newline1=3c-1 = -3 - c
  5. Add 33: Add 33 to both sides of the equation to solve for cc. \newline1+3=3+3c-1 + 3 = -3 + 3 - c\newline2=c2 = -c
  6. Multiply by 1-1: Multiply both sides by 1-1 to get the positive value of cc.1×2=1×c-1 \times 2 = -1 \times -c2=c-2 = c
