Hi. I need help bad on this problem.

72 + 4 - 14c= 36

Tthe teacher came up with 20/7 but I do not get that answer...can you help?

\(\displaystyle \L\\72+4-14c=36\)

\(\displaystyle \L\\76-14c=36\)

\(\displaystyle \L\\-14c=-40\)

Now, finish?. Don't forget to reduce your fraction.

It will be a lot easier to help you find your errors (if any) if you first show us what you've done. :wink:

Please be complete. Thank you!
