Solve 3(2c+1)=0

$$3 ( 2 c + 1 ) = 0$$

Solve for c

$$c=-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 3. Zero divided by any non-zero number gives zero.

$$2c+1=0$$

Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$2c=-1$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$c=\frac{-1}{2}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

$$c=-\frac{1}{2}$$
