Question

Solve -8(c-1)=-(-3) what is the solution of c?

Answer 1

c =
`(5)/(8)`

Explanation:

First, expand the brackets by applying the Distributive Law:

`= -8c + 8 = 3`

Then bring all the like terms together and isolate c. Move '3' to the left and '8c' to the right: of the equation:

`= 8 - 3 = 8c`

=
`5 = 8c`

=
`c = (5)/(8)`
