Final answer:

The equation 1/c - 1/c = 3/c(c-3) simplifies to 0 = 3/c(c-3), which has no solution since any value of c would result in division by zero, which is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 1/c - 1/c = 3/c(c-3). The left side simplifies to 0 since 1/c minus 1/c is zero. Therefore, the equation implies 0 = 3/c(c-3). For the equation 0 = 3/c(c-3), there is no value of c that will make the equation true unless c is not equal to zero or three to avoid division by zero. However, since cannot equal zero or three, there is no solution to the equation based on the information provided.
