Solve -2=-|c 8| 5

Evaluate

- 2 = - ∣ c \times 8 ∣ \times 5

Simplify

More Steps

- 2 = - 5 ∣ 8 c ∣

Swap the sides of the equation

- 5 ∣ 8 c ∣ = - 2

Change the sign

5 ∣ 8 c ∣ = 2

Divide both sides

\frac{5 ∣ 8 c ∣}{5} = \frac{2}{5}

Divide the numbers

∣ 8 c ∣ = \frac{2}{5}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

8 c = \frac{2}{5} 8 c = - \frac{2}{5}

Solve the equation for c

More Steps

c = \frac{1}{20} 8 c = - \frac{2}{5}

Solve the equation for c

More Steps

c = \frac{1}{20} c = - \frac{1}{20}

Solution

c_{1} = - \frac{1}{20}, c_{2} = \frac{1}{20}

Alternative Form

c_{1} = - 0.05, c_{2} = 0.05
