Answer:

It depends on what you're solving for. If you're solving for X then the answer would be c= -6. In other words, if you're solving for C then the answer would be c = 3. (∣x+6∣−∣x+4∣)

x≥−4

x= 6

c−30

x≤−6, ​

c=6

∣c∣≤6

c=−6

To solve the equation 3(x + 6) = 3(x + 4) + c, you can start by simplifying both sides of the equation:

3(x + 6) means you distribute the 3 on the left side:

3x + 18 = 3(x + 4) + c

Now, distribute the 3 on the right side:

3x + 18 = 3x + 12 + c

Now, subtract 3x from both sides to isolate the constant term "c":

18 = 12 + c

To solve for c, subtract 12 from both sides:

c = 18 - 12
c = 6

So, the value of c that satisfies the equation is 6.
