Well, in order to solve it, you have to set it equal to something, because as of right now, it's just a random algebraic expression that means nothing.
If you set it equal to zero however...
14c/15 + 7/17 = 0
14c/15 = -7/17
14c = -105/17
c= -15/34

cross multiply to get a comon denominator
17*14c + 7*15
--------------------
15*17
=
234c + 105
----------------
255
but for a soloution to find what C is. the fraction must = something
say it =0 c woudl be
14c/15 +7/17 = 0
14c/15= -7/17
14c= 15*(-7/17)
c = (15*[-7/17])/14
c= -15/34

14c/15 + 7/17 = 0
255(14c/17) + 255(7/17 = 0
238c + 105 = 0
238c + 105 - 105 = 0 - 105
238c = - 105
238c/238 = - 105/238
c = - 105/237
c = - 15/34
The answer is = - 15/34
- - - - - - - - - - s-

What do you want done to it?
14c/15 + 7/17
7(c/15+1/17)
7(17c+15)/17
(17c+15)*7/17

That is the simplified form. You are missing the other expression, which will make it an equation or inequality.
