Solve for c -3-9c=5-6c-5

$- 3 - 9 c = 5 - 6 c - 5$

Step 1

Combine the opposite terms in $5 - 6 c - 5$ .

Subtract $5$ from $5$ .

$- 3 - 9 c = - 6 c + 0$

Add $- 6 c$ and $0$ .

$- 3 - 9 c = - 6 c$

Step 2

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

Add $6 c$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 3 - 9 c + 6 c = 0$

Add $- 9 c$ and $6 c$ .

$- 3 - 3 c = 0$

Step 3

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 3 c = 3$

Step 4

Divide each term in $- 3 c = 3$ by $- 3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 3 c = 3$ by $- 3$ .

$\frac{- 3 c}{- 3} = \frac{3}{- 3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 3 c}{- 3} = \frac{3}{- 3}$

Divide $c$ by $1$ .

$c = \frac{3}{- 3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $3$ by $- 3$ .

$c = - 1$
