Answer:

c = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in solving for c is to add 27 to both sides of the equation. This gives


-12c-27+27=-3+27

27 cancels on the left-hand side to give


-12c=-3+27
-12c=24

dividing both sides by -12 gives


-(12c)/(-12)=(24)/(-12)

the -12 cancels on the left-hand side to give


c=-(24)/(12)
\boxed{c=-2.}

which is our answer!
