2%283c%2B5%29%2B7%282c-1%29=3%284-8c%29 Start with the given equation.


6c%2B10%2B14c-7=12-24c Distribute.


20c%2B3=12-24c Combine like terms on the left side.


20c=12-24c-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


20c%2B24c=12-3 Add 24c to both sides.


44c=12-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


44c=9 Combine like terms on the right side.


c=%289%29%2F%2844%29 Divide both sides by 44 to isolate c.

Answer:

So the solution is c=9%2F44
