-14 = -5 + 3c
First, regroup your terms. / Your problem should look like: [tex]-14 = 3c - 5[/tex]
Second, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: [tex]-14 + 5 = 3c[/tex]
Third, simplify -14 + 5 to -9. / Your problem should look like: [tex]-9 = 3c[/tex]
Fourth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: [tex] -\frac{9}{3} = c[/tex]
Fifth, simplify the fraction to 3. / Your problem should look like: [tex]-3 = c[/tex]
Sixth, switch your sides. / Your problem should look like: [tex]c = -3[/tex]
Answer: c = -3
