Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
28c2
28c2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
28c2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
28c2=1
Divide both sides
2828c2=281
Divide the numbers
c2=281
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
c=±281
