Solve the following question, 4 (c+2) = - 28. Show all your work.

4 (c+2) = - 28

Use distributive property

4c+8=-28

Subtract 8 from both sides

4c=-36

Divide 4 on both sides

Final Answer: c=-9

Your job is to solve this equation for the value of the variable c.

1) divide both sides of this equation by 4. This will isolate (c+2) on the left.

2) subtract 2 from both sides. This will give you an equation for c, and is thus the solution.
