Answer:
c=(1)/(2)

Explanation:

To find the solution, we have to solve for c by using inverse properties.


17c+3(4-2c)=5(7c) [multiply]


17c+12-6c=35c [combine like terms]


11c+12=35c [subtract both sides by 11c]


12=24c [divide both sides by 24]


c=(12)/(24) [simplify]


c=(1)/(2)

So the solution is
c=(1)/(2).
