Answer:

c = 36

Explanation:

so our equation is 21 = 5/6c - 9

first we need to get rid of the 9. in order to do this, we have to do the opposite of the action shown. so in this case, we would add 9 to both sides. we add it to both sides to keep the equation balanced and equal.

adding 9 to 21 gives us 30. so our equation would then be 30 = 5/6c

now we need to get the c by itself. so we divide by 5/6 because in the original equation the 5/6 and the c are being multiplied to each other.

when we devide 5/6c by 5/6, it cancels out. leaving us with c. 30 divided by 5/6 will in turn gives 36. and there is your answer.
