Answer:

c= ℝ

Explanation:

8(c-9)=6(2c-12)-4c

Distribute left side.

8*c+8*-9=6(2c-12)-4c

8c-72=6(2c-12)-4c

Distribte right side.

8c-72=6*2c+6*-12-4c

8c-72=12c-72-4c

Combine like terms.

8c-72=8c-72

Since the two sides are exactly the same, this means that any number for c will satisfy the equation.

Therefore, c= ℝ (all real numbers)
