Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution.

$6.29+c=4.01$

Short answer

Solution of given equation is$c=-2.28$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1.  Solve for value of c

$6.29+c=4.01$

Subtracting with $6.29$on both sides, we get

$\begin{array}{c}6.29-6.29+c=4.01-6.29\\ c=4.01-6.29\\ c=-2.28\end{array}$

Step 2. Verification of our solution

For checking our answer, substitute $c=-2.28$ in given equation $6.29+c=4.01$.

On substituting, we get

$\begin{array}{c}6.29+c=4.01\\ 6.29-2.28=4.01\\ 4.01=4.01\end{array}$

Step 3.  Conclusion

Here, both sides of above expression are equal.

So, our answer is true.
