c=156175=0.891
c=156/175=0.891

Step by Step Solution

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): Dot was discarded near "c.-".

(2): "6.24" was replaced by "(624/100)".

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     c-(624/100)-(c-7*c)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            156
 Simplify   ———
            25 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        156     
  (c -  ———) -  -6c  = 0 
        25      

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  25  as the denominator :

          c     c • 25
     c =  —  =  ——————
          1       25  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 c • 25 - (156)     25c - 156
 ——————————————  =  —————————
       25              25    

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  (25c - 156)    
  ——————————— -  -6c  = 0 
      25         

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  25  as the denominator :

           -6c     -6c • 25
    -6c =  ———  =  ————————
            1         25   

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

 (25c-156) - (-6c • 25)     175c - 156
 ——————————————————————  =  ——————————
           25                   25    

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  175c - 156
  ——————————  = 0 
      25    

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

 4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

  175c-156
  ———————— • 25 = 0 • 25
     25   

Now, on the left hand side, the  25  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   175c-156  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    175c-156 = 0 

 
Add  156  to both sides of the equation : 
 
                     175c = 156
Divide both sides of the equation by 175:
                     c = 156/175 = 0.891

One solution was found :

                   c = 156/175 = 0.891
