You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+5c+%2B+10+=+3%2A%28c+%2B+2%29+
+5c+%2B+10+=+3c+%2B+6+
Subtract +3c+ from both sides
+2c+%2B+10+=+6+
Subtract +10+ from both sides
+2c+=+-4+
Divide both sides by +2+
+c+=+-2+
Now check the answer:
+5c+%2B+10+=+3%2A%28c+%2B+2%29+
+5%2A%28-2%29+%2B+10+=+3%2A%28-2+%2B+2%29+
+-10+%2B+10+=+3%2A0+
+0+=+0+
OK
