Solve for c -3/4c+3=-24

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

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Combine $c$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ .

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

Move $3$ to the left of $c$ .

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

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $c$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the equation.

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

Subtract $3$ from $- 24$ .

$- \frac{3 c}{4} = - 27$

Step 3

Multiply both sides of the equation by $- \frac{4}{3}$ .

$- \frac{4}{3} (- \frac{3 c}{4}) = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Step 4

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $- \frac{4}{3} (- \frac{3 c}{4})$ .

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{4}{3}$ into the numerator.

$\frac{- 4}{3} (- \frac{3 c}{4}) = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{3 c}{4}$ into the numerator.

$\frac{- 4}{3} \cdot \frac{- 3 c}{4} = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Factor $4$ out of $- 4$ .

$\frac{4 (- 1)}{3} \cdot \frac{- 3 c}{4} = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 \cdot - 1}{3} \cdot \frac{- 3 c}{4} = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{- 1}{3} (- 3 c) = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Factor $3$ out of $- 3 c$ .

$\frac{- 1}{3} (3 (- c)) = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 1}{3} (3 (- c)) = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Rewrite the expression.

$- - c = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Multiply.

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$1 c = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Multiply $c$ by $1$ .

$c = - \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $- \frac{4}{3} \cdot - 27$ .

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{4}{3}$ into the numerator.

$c = \frac{- 4}{3} \cdot - 27$

Factor $3$ out of $- 27$ .

$c = \frac{- 4}{3} \cdot (3 (- 9))$

Cancel the common factor.

$c = \frac{- 4}{3} \cdot (3 \cdot - 9)$

Rewrite the expression.

$c = - 4 \cdot - 9$

Multiply $- 4$ by $- 9$ .

$c = 36$
