Try not to get points only!?!? Then how about you pay me real money?
2c + 5(c - 5) = 10
The first step is distributive property.
2c + 5c - 25 = 10
The second step is to combine like terms,
7c = 35
The third step is to divide both sides by 7
c = 5.
Or you know, you could just take the easier way and plug in the numbers.
