-4(c – 8) – 8 = 36
c = -3
c = 1
To solve the equation (-4(c – 8) – 8 = 36), let’s go through it step-by-step:
1. Distribute (-4) across ((c – 8)):
[
-4c + 32 – 8 = 36
]
2. Combine like terms:
[
-4c + 24 = 36
]
3. Subtract (24) from both sides:
[
-4c = 12
]
4. Divide both sides by (-4):
[
c = -3
]
So the solution is (c = -3).
The option (c = 1) is incorrect.
