We want to know if


c=1

Is a solution for


3(c-6)=21

To see if this is a solution for the equation, we just need to evaluate the equation with the given value.


\begin{gathered} 3(1-6)=21 \\ 3(-5)=21 \\ -15=21 \end{gathered}

Since the last statement is false(-15 IS NOT equal to 21), we can say that 1 is not a solution for this equation.
