$- 2 + 8 c = - 8 + 9 c$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $c$ to the left side of the equation.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Subtract $9 c$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 2 + 8 c - 9 c = - 8$

Step 1.2

Subtract $9 c$ from $8 c$ .

$- 2 - c = - 8$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $c$ to the right side of the equation.

Step 2.1

Add $2$ to both sides of the equation.

$- c = - 8 + 2$

Step 2.2

Add $- 8$ and $2$ .

$- c = - 6$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- c = - 6$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Step 3.2.1

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{c}{1} = \frac{- 6}{- 1}$

Step 3.2.2

Divide $c$ by $1$ .

$c = \frac{- 6}{- 1}$

Step 3.3

Simplify the right side.
