Question

How do I solve: -3 (c + 3) = 36

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Given the equation

`-3(c+3)=36`

We can find the value of c below

`\begin{gathered} -3c-9=36 \\ add\text{ 9 to both sides} \\ -3c-9+9=36+9 \\ -3c=45 \\ Divide\text{ both side by -3} \\ (-3c)/(-3)=(45)/(-3) \\ c=-15 \end{gathered}`

Answer: c = -15
