Are you trying to find the value of C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok well -160 is incorrect its -32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply both sides by 8. ((−5)(c)) 8 =20 ( ((−5)(c)) 8 )*(8)=(20)*(8) (−5)(c)=160 Step 2: Divide both sides by -5. −5c −5 = 160 −5 c=−32
