Question 230822
c + 4 = -14
subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to get:
c = -18


to check your equation, replace c with -18 in your equation to see if it is true.


your original equation is c + 4 = -14


replace c with -18 to get:


-18 + 4 = -14


add 18 to both sides of this equation to get:


4 = -14 + 18


simplify and combine like terms to get:


4 = 4


since this is true (4 really does equal to 4), then your value of c = -18 is good.
