10-12%284c-4%28c%2B3%29%29=116-c Start with the given equation.


10-48c%2B48%28c%2B3%29=116-c Distribute.


10-48c%2B48c%2B144=116-c Distribute again.


0c%2B154=116-c Combine like terms on the left side.


0c=116-c-154 Subtract 154 from both sides.


0c%2Bc=116-154 Add c to both sides.


c=116-154 Combine like terms on the left side.


c=-38 Combine like terms on the right side.
