We are given,
[tex] \longrightarrow 0.2(10 - 5c) = 5c - 16 [/tex]
Solving the parenthesis
[tex]{ \longrightarrow 0.2 \times 10 - 0.2 \times 5c = 5c - 16 }[/tex]
[tex]{ \longrightarrow 2 - 1c = 5c - 16 }[/tex]
[tex]{ \longrightarrow 2 + 16 = 5c + 1c }[/tex]
[tex]{ \longrightarrow 18 = 6c }[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 6
[tex]{ \longrightarrow 3 = c }[/tex]
Hence c = 3.
