Answer:c=1
Step-by-step explanation:Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−5=−3(c−2)−8
−5=(−3)(c)+(−3)(−2)+−8(Distribute)
−5=−3c+6+−8
−5=(−3c)+(6+−8)(Combine Like Terms)
−5=−3c+−2
−5=−3c−2
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−3c−2=−5
Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.
−3c−2+2=−5+2
−3c=−3
Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.
−3c
−3
=
−3
−3
c=1
