The equation as you show it is this:

C-6%2F4=C%2B7%2F6

Obviously that has no solution....

Instead of showing you how to solve the equation you INTENDED to show, I will ask you to re-post the problem with appropriate use of parentheses -- hopefully to help remind you that parentheses are important....

assuming you have
%28C-6%29%2F4=%28C%2B7%29%2F6.....cross multiply
6%28C-6%29=4%28C%2B7%29
6C-36=4C%2B28
6C-4C=36%2B28
2C=64
C=32
