Question 219044


{{{c-8=2+5c}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{c=2+5c+8}}} Add {{{8}}} to both sides.



{{{c-5c=2+8}}} Subtract {{{5c}}} from both sides.



{{{-4c=2+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4c=10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{c=(10)/(-4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-4}}} to isolate {{{c}}}.



{{{c=-5/2}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{c=-5/2}}} which in decimal form is {{{c=-2.5}}}.
