Please help –8 = c /9 c=

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We want to get c all by itself on one side of the equation. Usually variables go on the left side, so let's flip the equation around.

c/9=-8

If we multiply c/9 by 9, the 9 will cancel out because if you divide by 9 and then multiply by 9 it just equals 1. We can do this to isolate the c, but whatever you do to one side of the equation, you have to do to the other. So, we multiply both sides by 9.

c/9×9=-8×9

c=-72

Have a wonderful day! :D

c = -72

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
