Solve for c 3c-8d=12

$3 c - 8 d = 12$

Step 1

Add $8 d$ to both sides of the equation.

$3 c = 12 + 8 d$

Step 2

Divide each term in $3 c = 12 + 8 d$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 c = 12 + 8 d$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 c}{3} = \frac{12}{3} + \frac{8 d}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 c}{3} = \frac{12}{3} + \frac{8 d}{3}$

Divide $c$ by $1$ .

$c = \frac{12}{3} + \frac{8 d}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $12$ by $3$ .

$c = 4 + \frac{8 d}{3}$
