Answer:

C=2/9

Explanation:

First, you combine like terms in the equation.

2c+7c=9c

Because there are no other like variables with 6 that are on the same side of the equation, nothing is changed to the 6. This makes the equation look like this-

9c+6=8

To get C isolated, you need to subtract 6 from both sides.

9c+6-6=8-6

9c=2

To get to what one c would be, you divide both sides by 9 to get c by itself.

9c/9=2/9

The nines cancel and what it simplifies to is 2/9, your answer.
