Answer:


\boxed {c = -5}

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
c:


(8)/(3)c - 2 = (2)/(3)x - 12

-Take
(2)/(3)c and subtract it from
(8)/(3)c:


(8)/(3)c - 2 - (2)/(3)c = (2)/(3)c - (2)/(3)c - 12


2c - 2 = -12

-Add
2 to both sides of the equation:


2c - 2 + 2 = -12 + 2


2c = -10

-Divide both sides by
2:


(2c)/(2) = (-10)/(2c)


\boxed {c = -5}

So, the value of
c is
-5.
