Answer:
c=2
Step-by-step explanation:
To make it a little simpler, use the distributive proptery on both sides of the equations first.
For the left side, it's asking 24 -(3c+4). We can multiply the (-) sign by (3c+4).
This leaves us with 24-3c-4. Combine Like Terms: 20-3c.
For the right side of the equation its asking 2(c+4) +c. First, distribute 2 to c+4. This leaves you with 2c+8+c (because 2 times c=2c and 2 times 4= 8). Combine Like Terms: 3c+8.
The final equation is 20-3c=3c+8. Solve from there.
20-3c+3c=3c+3c+8 Add 3c to both sides
20=6c+8
20-8=6c-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.
12=6c Divide by 2
2=c
Please correct me if I'm wrong:)
