25c%2B17=5c%2B143 Start with the given equation.



25c=5c%2B143-17 Subtract 17 from both sides.



25c-5c=143-17 Subtract 5c from both sides.



20c=143-17 Combine like terms on the left side.



20c=126 Combine like terms on the right side.



c=%28126%29%2F%2820%29 Divide both sides by 20 to isolate c.



c=63%2F10 Reduce.
