Question

What is the answer to -12=4+c

Answer 1

c=-16

Explanation:

We want to solve for c in the equation:

-12=4+c

We add the additive inverse of 4 to both sides of the equation to obtain:

`- 12 + - 4 = 4 + - 4 + c`

We simplify to obtain:

`- 12 - 4 = 4 - 4 + c`

We simplify further to get:

`- 16= 0 + c`

Therefore

`- 16 = c`

Or

`c = - 16`
