Hello.

First of all, solve 5(c+2) by applying the distributive property.

I mean, 5*c and 5*2

So rewrite:

3c - 2 = 5c + 10

Now, you have to solve for c and then move all the Cs to the left of equal and change them sign, same to all known terms but move them to the right instead!

3c - 5c = 10 + 2

-2c = 12

The c can't be negative so divide both terms for -1

2c = -12

divide both terms for 2

2c/2 = -12/2

c = -6
