Question 1056573: 2c + 9 = -10 – 8 + 5c
Answer by algebralearner(2)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First you want to combine the like terms "-10" and "-8".
You will then end up with this: 2c+9=5c-18.
Then, we need to move the variable to one side.
Subtract "2c" from both sides of the equation.
You will then end up with this: 9=3c-18.
Then, we need to get the variable by itself.
To do this, you add "18" to both sides of the equation.
You will then end up with this: 27=3c
You can then turn the equation around to have this: 3c=27
Then, we need to divide both sides of the equation by "3" to get the "c" by itself and ultimately solve the equation.
After the division, you should have this: c=9
c=9 is your answer.
