Question

solve.
(c+2) + 8=4

Answer 1

to solve for c you need to isolate it

Answer 2

would i add the 2 and the 8 then solve?

Answer 3

(c+2) + 8 = 4

c+2 + 8 = 4

c+10 = 4

Answer 4

yes now you can subtract 10 from both sides

Answer 5

and the answer will be -6

Answer 6

c+10-10 = 4-10
c = -6

Answer 7

yes good work :)

Answer 8

No, when solving equations, you want to get the c alone by moving the 2 and 8 to the other side of the equation. Instead of adding, you do the opposite function, subtraction, to move them. So subtract 2 from both sides of the equation, and then subtract 8 from both sides.

( c + 2 ) + 8 = 4.
-2 - 2

c + 8 = 2
- 8 - 8

c = - 6
