\newline

Write your answer in simplest form.

\newline

\frac{c - 5}{-c + 2} =

Identify Expression: Identify the expression after substituting $c = 3$ $\newline$ Substitute $3$ for $c$ in $\frac{c - 5}{-c + 2}$ . $\newline$ $\frac{3 - 5}{-3 + 2}$
Substitute and Simplify: Evaluate $3 - 5$ $\newline$ $3 - 5 = -2$ $\newline$ Numerator: $-2$
Evaluate Numerator: Evaluate $-3 + 2$ $-3 + 2 = -1$ Denominator: $-1$
Evaluate Denominator: $-2/(-1)$ $\newline$ Rewrite the fraction in simplest form. $\newline$ Divide both $-2$ and $-1$ by $-1$ to simplify. $\newline$ $-2/(-1) = 2$
