Solve the following equation
4c-8=36c-72
Solve for c
4c - 8 = 36c - 72
Group variables
Group our variables 4c and 36c
subtract 36c from both sides
4c - 8 - 36c = 36c - 72 - 36c
Cancel 36c on the right side:
-32c - 8 = -72
Divide each side by 4
| 4c | |
| 4 |
| = |
| -8 |
| 4 |
Group constants
Group our constants -8 and -72.
add 8 to both sides
-32c - 8 + 8 = -72 + 8
Cancel 8 on the left side:
-32c = -64
Divide each side of the equation by -32
| -32c | |
| -32 |
| = |
| -64 |
| -32 |
c = 2
Final Answer
c = 2
