Answer: C= -10
Step-by-step explanation: First step: simplify both sides of the equation
3c−2(c+10)=7c−5(c+2)
3c+(−2)(c)+(−2)(10)=7c+(−5)(c)+(−5)(2) (Distribute)
3c+−2c+−20=7c+−5c+−10
(3c+−2c)+(−20)=(7c+−5c)+(−10) (Combine Like Terms)
c + -20 = 2c - 10
c - 20 = 2c - 10
Step 2: Subtract 2c from both sides
c - 20 - 2c = 2c -10 - 2c
−c−20=−10
Step 3: Add 20 to both sides
−c−20+20=−10+20
−c=10
Step 4: Divide both sides by -1
-c/-1 = 10/-1
C=-10
