Answer:

4c + 8 = 20

Explanation:

To find which equation is true, we have to plug 3 into x in each equation.

2c + 8 = 31

Plug in 3 into c

2(3) + 8 = 31

6 + 8 = 31

14 = 31

Since 14 doesn't equal 31, this equation isn't true.

35 − 5c = 32

Plug in 3 into c

35 − 5(3) = 32

35 - 15 = 32

20 = 32

Since 20 doesn't equal 32, this equation isn't true.

9 − 6c = 0

Plug in 3 into c

9 − 6(3) = 0

9 − 18 = 0

-9 = 0

Since -9 doesn't equal 0, this equation isn't true.

4c + 8 = 20

Plug in 3 into c

4(3) + 8 = 20

12 + 8 = 20

20 = 20

Since 20 equals 20, this equation is true.

Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
