-2c%2B8=5c-10 Start with the given equation.


-2c=5c-10-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


-2c-5c=-10-8 Subtract 5c from both sides.


-7c=-10-8 Combine like terms on the left side.


-7c=-18 Combine like terms on the right side.


c=%28-18%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate c.


c=18%2F7 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is c=18%2F7
