\frac{6}{9}=\sqrt{\frac{c-2^{2}}{9}}
Multiply 6 and \frac{1}{9} to get \frac{6}{9}.
\frac{2}{3}=\sqrt{\frac{c-2^{2}}{9}}
Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
\frac{2}{3}=\sqrt{\frac{c-4}{9}}
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
\frac{2}{3}=\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}.
\sqrt{\frac{1}{9}c-\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{2}{3}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{1}{9}c-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{4}{9}
Square both sides of the equation.
\frac{1}{9}c-\frac{4}{9}-\left(-\frac{4}{9}\right)=\frac{4}{9}-\left(-\frac{4}{9}\right)
Add \frac{4}{9} to both sides of the equation.
\frac{1}{9}c=\frac{4}{9}-\left(-\frac{4}{9}\right)
Subtracting -\frac{4}{9} from itself leaves 0.
\frac{1}{9}c=\frac{8}{9}
Subtract -\frac{4}{9} from \frac{4}{9} 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{8}{9}}{\frac{1}{9}}
Multiply both sides by 9.
c=\frac{\frac{8}{9}}{\frac{1}{9}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{9} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{9}.
c=8
Divide \frac{8}{9} by \frac{1}{9} by multiplying \frac{8}{9} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{9}.
