-3c%2B2=7c-8 Start with the given equation.


-3c=7c-8-2 Subtract 2 from both sides.


-3c-7c=-8-2 Subtract 7c from both sides.


-10c=-8-2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-10c=-10 Combine like terms on the right side.


c=%28-10%29%2F%28-10%29 Divide both sides by -10 to isolate c.


c=1 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is c=1
