Question
Solve the equation
Solve for c
c=41
Alternative Form
c=0.25
Evaluate
7(c−1)−2=−c−7
Move the expression to the left side
7(c−1)−2−(−c−7)=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
7(c−1)−2−(−c−7)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
7(c−1)−2+c+7
Add the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
7(c−1)+7
Rewrite the expression
7c−7+7
Since two opposites add up to 0,remove them form the expression
7c
7c−2+c
Add the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
7c+c
Collect like terms
(7+1)c
Add the numbers
8c
8c−2
8c−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
8c=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
8c=2
Divide both sides
88c=82
Divide the numbers
c=82
Solution
c=41
Alternative Form
c=0.25
