(c)/(7) = -5

***I switched the order of c/7 and -5. It means the same thing, but I just find it easier this way

To solve for c you must isolate this by bringing 7 to the other side. To do this you must multiply 7 to both sides. This will cancel 7 from the left side (the right side in the way the equation is written in the question) and bring it over to the right side


7((c)/(7) ) = -5 * 7

c = -35

Hope this helped!
