Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

12=4(17-14)

12=4(3)

12=12

Answer 2

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

Step-by-step 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:

$\frac{68}{4} = \frac{4c}{4}$

$17 = c$

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