$$-49=6c-13-4c$$ 
Lol, we'll try! :) To solve this equation, the goal is to isolate the variable. We need to get it alone by using inverse operations and adding like terms. :)
6c and 4c are like termsso first we'll do 6c - 4c which is 2c.
Now, our equation is -49=2c-13.
Now we want to add 13 to both sides. That gives us -36=2c. And lastly, to get the c alone, we will divide both sides by 2. 
-18 = c
Hope this helps! :) Any questions?
