i'll do it step-by-step here. if there's any step that doesn't make sense, feel free to let me know!

6c = 2(3c-4) + 2c

distribute the 2 among the terms in the parentheses first.

6c = 6c - 8 + 2c

because both sides have 6c, we can cancel them out. 6c - 6c = 0.

0 = -8 + 2c

move the 8 to the other side (+8 to both sides).

8 = 2c

divide both sides by 2.

8/2 = c

therefore, 4 = c.

hope i helped! good luck.
