Answer 5

This equation is:

\(-\dfrac{5c}{8} = 20\)

You are solving for c.

First, look at what is happening to c.
c is being multiplied by \(-\dfrac{5}{8} \)
To undo that multiplication, you can divide both sides by that fraction.
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction.
That means you can multiply both sides of the equation by \(-\dfrac{8}{5}\)

\(-\dfrac{8}{5} \cdot \left(-\dfrac{5c}{8} \right) = -\dfrac{8}{5} \cdot 20 \)

\(c = -32\)
