First we want to cross multiply. 5 * 6 = 3c * 1
Then simplify it down and multiply 5 * 6
30 = 3c * 1
Now re-order the terms so we have an easier time multiplying!
30 = 3 * 1c
Multiply 3 by 1
30 = 3c
Now we want to solve for the variable c so we want to move all terms that have c to the left and all other terms to the right.
Lets start by adding - 3c to each side of the equation.
30 + - 3c = 3c + - 3c
Combine our like terms ...
30 + - 3c = 0
Now add - 30 to each side of the equation
30 + - 30 + - 3c = 0 + - 30
Combine like terms again.
0 + - 3c = 0 + - 30
-3c = 0 + - 30
Like terms.
-3c = - 30
Now simply divide both sides by - 3.
-3c/3 = - 30/-3
This gives us 10. Therefore c = 10.
