Answer:

1

Explanation:

As we know that addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as are multiplication and division.

The given equation is c+3=4

To solve such equations we isolate the unknown( to keep it either to the left or right of = sign) as c = 4-3

This is also called transposing and the sign of the transposed value changes.

Hence, c = 4-3 = 1
