c%2B7%2F4=6%2F7 Start with the given equation.


28%28c%2B7%2Fcross%284%29%29=28%286%2Fcross%287%29%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 28 to clear any fractions.


28c%2B49=24 Distribute and multiply.


28c=24-49 Subtract 49 from both sides.


28c=-25 Combine like terms on the right side.


c=%28-25%29%2F%2828%29 Divide both sides by 28 to isolate c.
