I really need help on these equations. Can u please show me step by step?

2/6(5k + 35) - 8 = 12

5/6c - 2/3c = 1/3

3/4 - 1/3z = 1/4

    2/6(5k + 35) - 8 = 12

    Assume you mean

    (2/6)(5k + 35) - 8 = 12

    Clear the fraction by multiplying both sides by 6

    2(5k + 35) - 48 = 72

    10k + 70 - 48 = 72

    10k + 22 = 72

    10k = 50

    k = 5

    Check

    2(25 + 35)/6 - 8 = 12

    2(60)/6 - 8 = 12

    20 - 8 = 12

    12 = 12

    5/6c - 2/3c = 1/3

    Assume you mean

    5c/6 - 2c/3 = 1/3

    Clear the fractions as before

    5c(6)/6 - 2c(6)/3 = 6(1/3)

    5c - 4c = 2

    c = 2

    I will show you just one..

    3/4 - 1/3 Z = 1/4

    12 (3/4 - 1/3 Z ) = 12 (1/4) ---multiple both sides

    9 - 4Z = 3

    9 - 4Z + 4Z = 3 + 4Z ---- add to both sides

    9 = 3 + 4Z

    9 - 3 = 3 - 3 + 4Z ---- substract both sides

    6 = 4Z

    6/4 = 4Z/4 ------divide both sides

    3/2 = Z ------- simplify
