Question

4c + 8 = 20 can solve this

Answer 1

`c = 3`

Explanation:

`4c + 8 = 20 \\ 4c = 20 - 8 \\ 4c = 12 \\ (4c)/(4) = (12)/(4) \\ c = 3`

Answer 2

You are solving for the variable (c).

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

First, subtract 8 from both sides

4c + 8 (-8) = 20 (-8)

4c = 20 - 8

4c = 12

Next, to fully isolate the variable (c), divide 4 from both sides

(4c)/4 = (12)/4

c = 12/4

c = 3

3 is your answer for c.
