3c-4c+ 1 = 5c + 2+ 3

First collect like terms

-c+1=5c+5

Subtract 5 from both sides

-c-4=5c

Add "c" to both sides

-4=6c

Divide both sides by 6

-4/6=c

simplify

c=-2/3

3c-4c+1=5c+2+3 first combine like terms on each side

-c+1=5c+5 Second get the variable on one side (Add c to each side)

+c +c

1=6c+5 Third isolate the variable. Subtract 5 from each side. Then divide by 6

-5 -5

-4 =6c

-4/6 =c Simplify

-2/3= c

Combine 3c and -4c = -c and 2 + 3 = 5

Add -c to the 5c on the other side:

1 = 6c + 5

Sub. 5 from the 1:

-4 = 6c

Div. by 6:

(-4/6) = c

Move the one to the other side (3c-4c = 5c+2+3-1)

Move the 5c to the other side (3c-4c-5c = 2+3-1)

Simplify (3c-4c-5c = -6c) and (2+3-1 = 4)

Therefore, -6c = 4

Divide both sides by -6. (-6c/-6 = c) and (4/6)

c = 2/3

-1c + 1 = 5c + 5

-1c + 1c + 1 = 5c + 1c + 5

1= 6c + 5

-5 + 1= 6c + 5 - 5

-4 = 6c

-2/3= c

First get like objects on the same side of the equation then solve for c.
