Step 1
Consider the linear equation.
c0.25c=120
Combine the like terms.
0.75c=120
Create an equivalent linear equation without decimals to represent the decimal linear equation. Multiply both sides of the equation by 100.
100(0.75c)=100(120)
75c=12.000
Divide both sides of the equation by 75.
75c75=12.00075
c=160
Check the solution by substituting c=160 in the original equation
1600.25(160)= 120
16040= 120
120=120 True
Since c=160 satisfies the original equation, the solution is 160.
