Answer:

c = 4

See explanation

Explanation:

Given:

4c = 3c - 4

Your calculation:

4c = 3c + 4

4c = 4 - 3c

4c = 1c

c = 4/1

c= 4

Correct calculation:

4c = 3c + 4

Collect like terms by subtracting 3c from both sides

4c - 3c = 3c + 4 - 3c

c = 4

Check:

4c = 3c + 4

4(4) = 3(4) + 4

16 = 12 + 4

16 = 16

Therefore,

Your final answer is correct but your method of calculation is not correct
