Solve c+5/12=21/6

$$c + \frac { 5 } { 12 } = 2 \frac { 1 } { 6 }$$

Solve for c

$$c = \frac{7}{4} = 1\frac{3}{4} = 1.75$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 12,6.

$$12c+5=2\left(2\times 6+1\right)$$

Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12.

$$12c+5=2\left(12+1\right)$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$12c+5=2\times 13$$

Multiply 2 and 13 to get 26.

$$12c+5=26$$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$$12c=26-5$$

Subtract 5 from 26 to get 21.

$$12c=21$$

Divide both sides by 12.

$$c=\frac{21}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{21}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$c=\frac{7}{4}$$
