(/= divided by)
so… can you please explain it and the steps that go with it?
Thanks so much!

I’m guessing you mean (c+1)/8 = c/4
If it is then, you have
(c+1)/8 = c/4
Multiply both sides by 8
(8)(c+1)/8 = (8)(c/4)
On the left side, the 8’s will cancel each other out and on the right side, you get 8/4, which is 2, so you have
c+1 = 2c
Now, subtract ‘c’ from both sides
c-c+1 = 2c-c
1=c
So your answer is c=1.
I hope this helps you.

c+(1/8)=(1/4c) Rewrite as
(1/8)=(1/4c)-c subtract like kinds
1/8=(1/4c)-(4/4c) multiply by 4 for common denominator
1/8=-3/4
(-4/3)(1/8)=c divide fractions by flipping and multiplying
-4/24=c
-1/6=c
