$c=43/30$

Given -

$c-3/5=5/6$

$c=5/6+3/5=(25+18)/30=43/30$

$c=43/30$

Check the solution

Substitute $c=43/30$ in the equation

$43/30-3/5=5/6$

$(43-18)/30=5/6$

$25/30=5/6$

$5/6=5/6$

Answer 2 · 2017-03-29T04:10:15

$c=43/30$

$c-3/5=5/6$

Add $3/5$ to both sides:

$c=5/6+3/5$

$= (25+18)/30$

$= 43/30$

Since $43$ is prime this fraction cannot be simplified.

Check:

Replace $c=43/30$ in original equation $-> 43/30 - 3/5$ should equal $5/6$

$43/30 -3/5 = (43-18)/30 = 25/30$

$= 5/6$

Hence our result is correct.
