Solve for c 2c-5=c+4

$2 c - 5 = c + 4$

Step 1

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

Subtract $c$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 c - 5 - c = 4$

Subtract $c$ from $2 c$ .

$c - 5 = 4$

Step 2

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

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$c = 4 + 5$

Add $4$ and $5$ .

$c = 9$
