Answer:

False

Explanation:

You want to know "what is 3/4c - 1 = 1 + 3/4c?"

Solution

Subtracting the left-side expression from both sides, we get ...

(3/4c -1) -(3/4c -1) = (1 +3/4c) -(3/4c -1)

0 = 2 . . . . a False statement

__

Additional comment

Since the equation is written without parentheses, we have to assume that c is in the numerator in each expression, and that its coefficient is (3/4).
