-5c-1+c+2\left(4c-1\right)=c-\left(5c-2\right)
The opposite of -c is c.
-4c-1+2\left(4c-1\right)=c-\left(5c-2\right)
Combine -5c and c to get -4c.
-4c-1+8c-2=c-\left(5c-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4c-1.
4c-1-2=c-\left(5c-2\right)
Combine -4c and 8c to get 4c.
4c-3=c-\left(5c-2\right)
Subtract 2 from -1 to get -3.
4c-3=c-5c-\left(-2\right)
To find the opposite of 5c-2, find the opposite of each term.
4c-3=c-5c+2
The opposite of -2 is 2.
4c-3=-4c+2
Combine c and -5c to get -4c.
4c-3+4c=2
Add 4c to both sides.
8c-3=2
Combine 4c and 4c to get 8c.
8c=2+3
