okay. add 2c to both sides with gives you 7c now you have 7c-9=8 then you add 9 since its negative to both sides which gives you 17 now you have 7c=17 here comes the tricky part you divide 7 to both sides if you want to leave you can leave it in fraction from as 17/7 or you can have a decimal which is 2.42 so your answer can be 17/7 or 2.42...either of those 2 hoped it helpd
