Solve 8=-2/3*(-2)+c

$$8 = - \frac { 2 } { 3 } \cdot ( - 2 ) + c$$

Solve for c

$$c = \frac{20}{3} = 6\frac{2}{3} \approx 6.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express -\frac{2}{3}\left(-2\right) as a single fraction.

$$8=\frac{-2\left(-2\right)}{3}+c$$

Multiply -2 and -2 to get 4.

$$8=\frac{4}{3}+c$$

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

$$\frac{4}{3}+c=8$$

Subtract \frac{4}{3} from both sides.

$$c=8-\frac{4}{3}$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{24}{3}.

$$c=\frac{24}{3}-\frac{4}{3}$$

Since \frac{24}{3} and \frac{4}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$c=\frac{24-4}{3}$$

Subtract 4 from 24 to get 20.

$$c=\frac{20}{3}$$
