Solve 36+6a+c=0

$$36 + 6 a + c = 0$$

Solve for a

$$a=-\frac{c}{6}-6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 36 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$6a+c=-36$$

Subtract c from both sides.

$$6a=-36-c$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$6a=-c-36$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$\frac{6a}{6}=\frac{-c-36}{6}$$

Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.

$$a=\frac{-c-36}{6}$$

Divide -36-c by 6.

$$a=-\frac{c}{6}-6$$

Solve for c

$$c=-6a-36$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 36 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$6a+c=-36$$

Subtract 6a from both sides.

$$c=-36-6a$$
