Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Let's solve for c.

x2+10x+c=−3+c

Step 1: Add -c to both sides.

x2+c+10x+−c=c−3+−c

x2+10x=−3

Step 2: Add -x^2 to both sides.

x2+10x+−x2=−3+−x2

10x=−x2−3

Step 3: Add -10x to both sides.

10x+−10x=−x2−3+−10x

0=−x2−10x−3

Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.

0

0

=

−x2−10x−3

0

c=

−x2−10x−3

0

Answer:

c=

−x2−10x−3/0

hope it helps :D
