Question

3c+24-2c=-9 (Show Work)

Answer 1

3c-2c+24=-9
c = -9 -24
c = -33

Answer 2

3c-2c+24=-9 c = -9 -24 c = -33

Answer 3

You want to have the c on one side and numbers on another side of 3c+24-2c=-9
To do this, when you move a number to the other side of an equal sign, then you change the sign. A negative will be positive and a positive will be negative.
So it would be 3c-2c=-24-9.
which would be c=-33

Answer 4

The 3c-2c is like this because when you move the 24, the + is part of the 24, but when it goes to the other side then it becomes negative. The -2 sign keeps it a negative.
