In this problem it looks like they want you to solve for c.
68 + 2c = 180.
First we need to simplify and isolate the c term on the left side. We do this by subtracting 68 from both sides.
68 (-68) + 2c = 180 (-68)
0 + 2c = 112
2c = 112
Now to solve for c we simply divide each side by 2
2c/2 = 112/2
The 2's divide out and we are left with
c = 56.
Now, let's check our solutions by plugging it back into the original equation.

68 + 2(56) = 180
68 + 112 = 180
180 = 180. It checks out so c = 56 is the correct answer.
