d\left(c+8\right)=8c
Variable c cannot be equal to -8 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by c+8.
dc+8d=8c
Use the distributive property to multiply d by c+8.
dc+8d-8c=0
Subtract 8c from both sides.
dc-8c=-8d
Subtract 8d from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(d-8\right)c=-8d
Combine all terms containing c.
\frac{\left(d-8\right)c}{d-8}=-\frac{8d}{d-8}
Divide both sides by d-8.
c=-\frac{8d}{d-8}
Dividing by d-8 undoes the multiplication by d-8.
c=-\frac{8d}{d-8}\text{, }c\neq -8
Variable c cannot be equal to -8.
