The answer is:

⇨ c = 8

Work/explanation:

The objective of this problem is to isolate x. So I focus on the right side:


\sf{-3c-6=-5(c-2)}


\sf{-3c-6=-5c+10}

Rearrange. All terms that contain c should be on the left.


\sf{-3c+5c-6=10}


\sf{2c-6=10}

All numbers should be on the right.


\sf{2c=10+6}

Simplify


\sf{2c=16}

Divide each side by 2.


\sf{c=8}
