Question

-5/4c - 1/4 = -3/4 + 5/8c  Please Help

Answer 1

First, here's a neat trick if you hate dealing with fractions (I just learned this today XD) Find the LCM of the denominators which in this case is 8 then multiply 8/1 by the fractions.
8/1(-5/4c-1/4=-3/4+5/8c)
You would end up with: -10c - 2 = 6 + 5c
Now do -10c - 5c to get -15c
-15c - 2 = 6
-2+2 cancels
2+6=7
-15c=7 divide each side by 15
The answer is c = -7/15

Answer 2

The answer is -8/15 because you need to cancel out the variables first
