Solve for c 5p+9c=p

$5 p + 9 c = p$

Step 1

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

Subtract $5 p$ from both sides of the equation.

$9 c = p - 5 p$

Subtract $5 p$ from $p$ .

$9 c = - 4 p$

Step 2

Divide each term in $9 c = - 4 p$ by $9$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $9 c = - 4 p$ by $9$ .

$\frac{9 c}{9} = \frac{- 4 p}{9}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $9$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{9 c}{9} = \frac{- 4 p}{9}$

Divide $c$ by $1$ .

$c = \frac{- 4 p}{9}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$c = - \frac{4 p}{9}$
