3%283c%2B5%29-7%282c-1%29=3%284-8c%29 Start with the given equation.


9c%2B15-14c%2B7=12-24c Distribute.


-5c%2B22=12-24c Combine like terms on the left side.


-5c=12-24c-22 Subtract 22 from both sides.


-5c%2B24c=12-22 Add 24c to both sides.


19c=12-22 Combine like terms on the left side.


19c=-10 Combine like terms on the right side.


c=%28-10%29%2F%2819%29 Divide both sides by 19 to isolate c.

Answer:

So the solution is c=-10%2F19
