let's solve your equation step-by - step

-3-3/4(c-4)=5/4

Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

-3-3/4(c-4)=5/4

-3+-3/4 c+3=5/4 (distribute)

(-3/4 c)+(-3+3)=5/4 (combine like terms)

-3/4c=5/4

-3/4 c =5/4

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 4/(-3)

(4/-3)*(-3/4 c)=(4/-3)*(5/4)

Answer:c=-5/3
