bring 2/7 c to left hand side

8/7 to right hand side

Then you can add like terms

Various ways to go about it. If it were me, I'd multiply the world by 28.

Concidering that @AravindG was helping me, i'll go with his help. Thanks to you guys though. :P
OpenStudy (aravindg):
@andriod09 multiplying by 7*4 is better a first step
OpenStudy (aravindg):
It makes things easier
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 7 }{ 4 }c - \frac{ 2 }{ 7 }c=\frac{ 13 }{ 4 }+\frac{ 8 }{ 7 }\]
\[\frac{ (49-8) }{ 28 }c=\frac{ 91+32 }{ 28 }\]
Multiply by 28 on both sides
\[(49-8)c=91+32\]
\[41c=123\]
\[c=\frac{ 123 }{ 41 }\]
c=3
OpenStudy (aravindg):

Any doubts?
OpenStudy (andriod09):
Nope. Thanks guys. I hate fractions, i suck at them, and never get them right.
OpenStudy (aravindg):
You see when you multiply by 7*4 you get rid of the fraction ..so it becomes simpler
OpenStudy (aravindg):
The qn simply reduces to
49c -32=91+8c
OpenStudy (aravindg):
gt it?
