Math Problem Statement

Solve for [c]. [12c-4=14c-10]

Solution

We are solving the equation:

12c4=14c1012c - 4 = 14c - 10

Step 1: Rearrange the equation to group terms with cc on one side.

Subtract 12c12c from both sides:

4=2c10-4 = 2c - 10

Step 2: Simplify the constant terms.

Add 1010 to both sides:

6=2c6 = 2c

Step 3: Solve for cc.

Divide both sides by 22:

c=3c = 3

Final Answer:

c=3c = 3
