Move term with c: Isolate the term containing c on one side of the equation.We start by moving the term without c from the right side to the left side of the equation by adding (1/4) to both sides.(5/4)+(−1/4)=−4c+(1/4)+(−1/4)
Simplify both sides: Simplify both sides of the equation.On the left side, we combine like terms (45) and (−41).(45)−(41)=−4c(44)=−4c1=−4c
Solve for c: Solve for c.To find c, we divide both sides of the equation by -4").\(\newline\$\frac{1}{(-4)} = \frac{-4c}{(-4)}\)\(\newline\)\(-\frac{1}{4} = c\)
