Question

Solve - ( c - 3) = 6

Answer 1

Greetings!


`-(c-3)=6`
Distribute the Parenthesis.

`-c+3=6`
Add -3 to both sides.

`(-c+3)+(-3)=(6)+(-3)`

`-c=3`
Divide both sides by -1.

`(-c)/-1=(3)/-1`

`c=-3`

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Distribute the negative outside the parenthesis through the terms inside the parenthesis.

-c + 3 = 6

Subtract 3 from both sides.

-c = 3

Divide both sides by -1.

c = -3
