Lawrence,
Thread[Plus[aû,cý],Equal]
does what you want.
You must instruct Thread to work with Equal; I think it is because Equal
does not have the attribute 'Listable'. Look for the help on Thread; 
there is an example very similar to yours. Of course, you can replace
Plus with Times or various other functions.
