Jenna Wilkerson · Answer 1

Add like terms

-15c+7c=7c-15c=-8c

we can't add the c terms and the numbers so we leave it so

-8c+1=3-8c

add 8c to both sides

8c-8c+1=3+8c-8c

0+1=3+0

1=3

false

there is no solution

Add - 15c and 7c since they have the same variable. After that you get a negative answer so you add the answer to both sides. That will cancel both numbers so it will be 1=3, the answer will be false.
