You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3%285c-1%29-2=13c%2B3 Start with the given equation.


15c-3-2=13c%2B3 Distribute.


15c-5=13c%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side.


15c=13c%2B3%2B5 Add 5 to both sides.


15c-13c=3%2B5 Subtract 13c from both sides.


2c=3%2B5 Combine like terms on the left side.


2c=8 Combine like terms on the right side.


c=%288%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate c.


c=4 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is c=4
