Given the numerical expression:
2c + 4(c + 3)
Simplify.
Solution:
In order to simplify, we distribute 4 to each value inside the parenthesis.
=2c + 4(c + 3)
=2c + 4c + 12
Transpose 12 on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
6c = -12
Divide both sides by 6 in order to get the value of c.
c = -2
Final answer:
c = -2
