Question

solve the equation. 5c = 13 c =

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable c

To solve for \( c \) in the equation \( 5c = 13 \), we divide both sides of the equation by 5.
\[
\frac{5c}{5} = \frac{13}{5}
\]

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying the left side, \( \frac{5c}{5} = c \). The right side remains \( \frac{13}{5} \) or 2.6.
\[
c = \frac{13}{5}
\]

Answer:

\( \frac{13}{5} \) (or 2.6)
