| ( | c | − | 5 | ) | ÷ | 6 | + | 3 | = | 2 | − | c | ÷ | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | c | × | 1 6 | − | 5 | × | 1 6 | + | 3 |
| = | c | × | 1 6 | − | 5 6 | + | 3 |
| = | 1 6 | c | + | 13 6 |
1 6 | c | + | 13 6 | = | 2 | − | c | ÷ | 8 |
1 6 | c | + | 1 8 | c | = | 2 | − | 13 6 |
7 24 | c | = | 2 | − | 13 6 |
7 24 | c | = | - | 1 6 |
| c | = | - | 1 6 | ÷ | 7 24 |
| = | - | 1 6 | × | 24 7 |
| = | - | 1 | × | 4 7 |
| c | = | - | 4 7 |
| c | = | - 0.571429 |
