Math Problem Statement

Solve for c.

8 − 4c = –10 − 6c + 10

Solution

To solve for cc in the equation 84c=106c+108 - 4c = -10 - 6c + 10, follow these steps:

  1. Simplify the right-hand side of the equation:

    106c+10=6c-10 - 6c + 10 = -6c

    Now the equation is:

    84c=6c8 - 4c = -6c

  2. Add 6c6c to both sides of the equation:

    84c+6c=6c+6c8 - 4c + 6c = -6c + 6c

    Simplifying this, we get:

    8+2c=08 + 2c = 0

  3. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

    8+2c8=088 + 2c - 8 = 0 - 8

    Simplifying this, we get:

    2c=82c = -8

  4. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for cc:

    2c2=82\frac{2c}{2} = \frac{-8}{2}

    Simplifying this, we get:

    c=4c = -4

So, the solution is c=4c = -4.
