Solve 5=1/2(5)+c

$$5 = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } (5)+c$$

Solve for c

$$c = \frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 5 to get \frac{5}{2}.

$$5=\frac{5}{2}+c$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{5}{2}+c=5$$

Subtract \frac{5}{2} from both sides.

$$c=5-\frac{5}{2}$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.

$$c=\frac{10}{2}-\frac{5}{2}$$

Since \frac{10}{2} and \frac{5}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$c=\frac{10-5}{2}$$

Subtract 5 from 10 to get 5.

$$c=\frac{5}{2}$$
