Transcript text: Solve for $c$. \[ \begin{array}{l} 8 c+17=73 \\ c=\square \end{array} \]

Solution

Solution Steps

To solve the equation $8c + 17 = 73$, we need to isolate the variable $c$. First, subtract 17 from both sides of the equation to get $8c = 56$. Then, divide both sides by 8 to solve for $c$.

Step 1: Rearranging the Equation

Starting with the equation: \[ 8c + 17 = 73 \] we subtract 17 from both sides to isolate the term with $c$: \[ 8c = 73 - 17 \] which simplifies to: \[ 8c = 56 \]

Step 2: Solving for $c$

Next, we divide both sides by 8 to solve for $c$: \[ c = \frac{56}{8} \] This simplifies to: \[ c = 7.0 \]
