Solve for c 10c+5=45

$10 c + 5 = 45$

Step 1

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

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$10 c = 45 - 5$

Subtract $5$ from $45$ .

$10 c = 40$

Step 2

Divide each term in $10 c = 40$ by $10$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $10 c = 40$ by $10$ .

$\frac{10 c}{10} = \frac{40}{10}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $10$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{10 c}{10} = \frac{40}{10}$

Divide $c$ by $1$ .

$c = \frac{40}{10}$
