Add -15c and 7c since they have the same variable. After that you get a negative answer so you add the answer to both sides. That will cancel both numbers so it will be 1=3, the answer will be false.

Add like terms
-15c+7c=7c-15c=-8c
we can't add the c terms and the numbers so we leave it so
-8c+1=3-8c
add 8c to both sides
8c-8c+1=3+8c-8c
0+1=3+0
1=3
false
there is no solution

$2\dfrac 29 = -\dfrac 45 m \\\\\implies 2+ \dfrac 29 =- \dfrac 45 m \\\\\implies \dfrac{20}9 = -\dfrac 45 m \\\\\implies 5(20) = (-4m)9\\\\\implies 100 = -36m\\\\\implies m = -\dfrac{100}{36} \\\\\implies m = -\dfrac{25}9\\\\\implies m=-2\dfrac 79$
