so you understand that we need c to be by itself since it's asking solve 5p+9c=p for c right?

While sites like wolfram alpha and mathway are useful, you should also understand the concepts and how to solve these problems manually. I highly doubt you will get an open book open notes exam

To solve this manually, subtract 5p from both sides and divide by 9.

5p-5p+9c=p-5p
9c=-4p

c=-4p/9

plug c back into the equation to see if your left side of the equation = right side of the equation... that's one way to know that you have the correct answer
