Answer:

c = 33

Explanation:

Given:

$4x+1+6c=5c-3x+6;\quad a=-4$

To find the value of c for which a is a solution to the equation, substitute x = -4 into the equation and solve for c:

$\begin{aligned}x=-4 \implies 4x+1+6c&=5c-3x+6\\4(-4)+1+6c&=5c-3(-4)+6\\-16+1+6c&=5c+12+6\\-15+6c&=5c+18\\-15+c&=18\\c&=33\end{aligned}$
