Solve the equation -4(c – 8) – 8 = 36 for the values of c, such that c = -3 and 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.
