Problem
Solve for c in the equation 1/15 = c - 8/15.
Step-by-step solution
To solve for c, add $\frac{8}{15}$ to both sides of the equation $\frac{1}{15} = c - \frac{8}{15}$. This gives $c = \frac{1}{15} + \frac{8}{15} = \frac{9}{15}$. Simplify the fraction to $\frac{3}{5}$.
Answer
$c = \frac{3}{5}$
