Answer:

c= 7/3

Explanation:

To solve for c:

Simplify the equation by moving all numbers to one side and variables to the other

-9c-4=-25

-9c= -25+4

-9c=-21

Now isolate c by dividing both sides by its coefficient (-9)

c= -21/-9

Since the (-) cancel out, this simplifies to:

c= 21/9

Now reduce the fraction by dividing the right hand side by a common value of 3:

c= 7/3
