6\times 9+1=9\sqrt{\frac{c-2^{2}}{9}}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9.
54+1=9\sqrt{\frac{c-2^{2}}{9}}
Multiply 6 and 9 to get 54.
55=9\sqrt{\frac{c-2^{2}}{9}}
Add 54 and 1 to get 55.
55=9\sqrt{\frac{c-4}{9}}
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
55=9\sqrt{\frac{1}{9}c-\frac{4}{9}}
Divide each term of c-4 by 9 to get \frac{1}{9}c-\frac{4}{9}.
9\sqrt{\frac{1}{9}c-\frac{4}{9}}=55
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\sqrt{\frac{1}{9}c-\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{55}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
\frac{1}{9}c-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{3025}{81}
Square both sides of the equation.
\frac{1}{9}c-\frac{4}{9}-\left(-\frac{4}{9}\right)=\frac{3025}{81}-\left(-\frac{4}{9}\right)
Add \frac{4}{9} to both sides of the equation.
\frac{1}{9}c=\frac{3025}{81}-\left(-\frac{4}{9}\right)
Subtracting -\frac{4}{9} from itself leaves 0.
\frac{1}{9}c=\frac{3061}{81}
Subtract -\frac{4}{9} from \frac{3025}{81} by finding a common denominator and subtracting the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
\frac{\frac{1}{9}c}{\frac{1}{9}}=\frac{\frac{3061}{81}}{\frac{1}{9}}
Multiply both sides by 9.
c=\frac{\frac{3061}{81}}{\frac{1}{9}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{9} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{9}.
c=\frac{3061}{9}
Divide \frac{3061}{81} by \frac{1}{9} by multiplying \frac{3061}{81} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{9}.
