Solve for c 6.95-8c=24.95

$6.95 - 8 c = 24.95$

Step 1

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

Subtract $6.95$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 8 c = 24.95 - 6.95$

Subtract $6.95$ from $24.95$ .

$- 8 c = 18$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 8 c = 18$ by $- 8$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 8 c = 18$ by $- 8$ .

$\frac{- 8 c}{- 8} = \frac{18}{- 8}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 8 c}{- 8} = \frac{18}{- 8}$

Divide $c$ by $1$ .

$c = \frac{18}{- 8}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $18$ and $- 8$ .

Factor $2$ out of $18$ .

$c = \frac{2 (9)}{- 8}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $- 8$ .

$c = \frac{2 \cdot 9}{2 \cdot - 4}$

Cancel the common factor.

$c = \frac{2 \cdot 9}{2 \cdot - 4}$

Rewrite the expression.

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

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

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

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

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

Decimal Form:

$c = - 2.25$

Mixed Number Form:

$c = - 2 \frac{1}{4}$
