First, distribute the 13 across the terms inside the parentheses: $13(7c) - 13(4) = 5c - 8$, which simplifies to $91c - 52 = 5c - 8$. Then, subtract 5c from both sides to get $86c - 52 = -8$. Add 52 to both sides to get $86c = 44$. Finally, divide both sides by 86 to solve for c, which gives $c = \frac{44}{86}$, which simplifies to $\frac{22}{43}$.

Solve the Equation 13(7c−4)=5c−813 ( 7 c - 4 ) = 5 c - 813(7c−4)=5c−8

Solve the Equation $13 ( 7 c - 4 ) = 5 c - 8$
