-2c\left(k-1\right)=-6
Variable c cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4c, the least common multiple of -2,4c.
-2ck+2c=-6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2c by k-1.
\left(-2k+2\right)c=-6
Combine all terms containing c.
\left(2-2k\right)c=-6
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2-2k\right)c}{2-2k}=-\frac{6}{2-2k}
Divide both sides by -2k+2.
c=-\frac{6}{2-2k}
Dividing by -2k+2 undoes the multiplication by -2k+2.
c=-\frac{3}{1-k}
Divide -6 by -2k+2.
c=-\frac{3}{1-k}\text{, }c\neq 0
Variable c cannot be equal to 0.
-2c\left(k-1\right)=-6
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4c, the least common multiple of -2,4c.
-2ck+2c=-6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2c by k-1.
-2ck=-6-2c
Subtract 2c from both sides.
\left(-2c\right)k=-2c-6
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2c\right)k}{-2c}=\frac{-2c-6}{-2c}
Divide both sides by -2c.
k=\frac{-2c-6}{-2c}
Dividing by -2c undoes the multiplication by -2c.
k=1+\frac{3}{c}
Divide -6-2c by -2c.
