+23254 Generally speaking, if you have fractions in an equation, the equation will be easier to solve if you get rid of all the fractions by multiplying each term by a common denominator.
With denominators of 8 and 4, use 8 as the common denominator:
8(c + 1/8) = 8(c/4) On the left side, use the distributive property:
8(c) + 8(1/8) = 8(c/4)
8c + 1 = 2c Get all the c's to one side by subtracting 8c from both sides:
1 = -6c
