3 (c + 8) = 28

3 x c = 3c

3 x 8 = 24

3c + 24 = 28

3c + 24 - 24 = 28 - 24

3c = 4

3c/3 = 4/3

C = 4/3

Answer:

c = 4/3

Explanation:

3(c + 8) = 28

Since we have paranthesis, first use the dsitributive property [multiply 3 by c and 8]

3(c + 8) = 28

3c + 24 = 28

To find the value of c, you must have c alone on one side, so subtract 24 from both sides

3c + 24 = 28

3c = 4

Now, divide by 3 to both sides to get your answer

3c = 4

c = 4/3

Therefore, the answer is 4/3!

I hope this helps! :)
