2\times 4+dcd=5c\times 2d
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2d, the least common multiple of d,2.
8+dcd=5c\times 2d
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
8+d^{2}c=5c\times 2d
Multiply d and d to get d^{2}.
8+d^{2}c=10cd
Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.
8+d^{2}c-10cd=0
Subtract 10cd from both sides.
d^{2}c-10cd=-8
Subtract 8 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(d^{2}-10d\right)c=-8
Combine all terms containing c.
\frac{\left(d^{2}-10d\right)c}{d^{2}-10d}=-\frac{8}{d^{2}-10d}
Divide both sides by d^{2}-10d.
c=-\frac{8}{d^{2}-10d}
Dividing by d^{2}-10d undoes the multiplication by d^{2}-10d.
c=-\frac{8}{d\left(d-10\right)}
Divide -8 by d^{2}-10d.
