Solve the literal equation for c 4p+9c=p

c = - p/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

4p+9c=p

9c = p - 4p

9c = - 3p

c = - 3p/9

c = - p/3.

4p+9c=p

move 4p to the other side

sign changes from + 4p to - 4p

4p-4p+9c=p-4p

9c = p-4p

9c = - 3p

divide both sides by 9 to get c by itself

9c/9 = - 3p/9

c = - 3p/9

reduce by dividing by 3

-3p/3 = - p

9/3 = 3

Answer:

c = - p/3
