Solve 5=-2/7(-2)+c

$$5 = - \frac { 2 } { 7 } ( - 2 ) + c$$

Solve for c

$$c = \frac{31}{7} = 4\frac{3}{7} \approx 4.428571429$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express -\frac{2}{7}\left(-2\right) as a single fraction.

$$5=\frac{-2\left(-2\right)}{7}+c$$

Multiply -2 and -2 to get 4.

$$5=\frac{4}{7}+c$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{4}{7}+c=5$$

Subtract \frac{4}{7} from both sides.

$$c=5-\frac{4}{7}$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{35}{7}.

$$c=\frac{35}{7}-\frac{4}{7}$$

Since \frac{35}{7} and \frac{4}{7} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$c=\frac{35-4}{7}$$

Subtract 4 from 35 to get 31.

$$c=\frac{31}{7}$$
