Question

Using the equation, 12 = 4(c- 14) Find the value of c.

Answer 1

Answer: The result is
`17 = c` or
`c =17` ( same thing ).

Explanation:

Solve:

`12=4(c-14)`

-Use Distributive Property:

`12= 4c-56`

-Then, you add 56 both sides of the equation:

`+56 +12 = 4c -56 +56`

`68 = 4c`

-Then, you divide both sides by 4:

`(68)/(4) = (4c)/(4)`

`17 = c`

So, the solution for this equation is 17 = c or c = 17.

Answer 2

17

Explanation:

12=4(17-14)

12=4(3)

12=12
