5c=c\times 25-12x
Variable c cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by c.
5c-c\times 25=-12x
Subtract c\times 25 from both sides.
-20c=-12x
Combine 5c and -c\times 25 to get -20c.
\frac{-20c}{-20}=-\frac{12x}{-20}
Divide both sides by -20.
c=-\frac{12x}{-20}
Dividing by -20 undoes the multiplication by -20.
c=\frac{3x}{5}
Divide -12x by -20.
c=\frac{3x}{5}\text{, }c\neq 0
Variable c cannot be equal to 0.
5c=c\times 25-12x
Multiply both sides of the equation by c.
c\times 25-12x=5c
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-12x=5c-c\times 25
Subtract c\times 25 from both sides.
-12x=-20c
Combine 5c and -c\times 25 to get -20c.
\frac{-12x}{-12}=-\frac{20c}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
x=-\frac{20c}{-12}
Dividing by -12 undoes the multiplication by -12.
x=\frac{5c}{3}
Divide -20c by -12.
