5c-2=3c then 24=c
how do i work this problem?

actually, if 5c-2=c, that can also mean (5*1)-2=(3*1), or 5-2=3, so c actually equals 1

Step-by-step explanation:

yes

5c - 2 = 3c

=> 5c = 3c + 2

=> 5c - 3c = 2

=> 2c = 2

=> c = 2/2

=> c = 1

-1/2 +2

step-by-step explanation:

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
