2(8+4c)=32 how to solve this.

Question

I want to know how to solve this math problem so I can get my homework finished.

Answer 1

You want to get to an equation in the form c = ....

2( 8 + 4c) = 32

Divide both sides by 2 and get

8 + 4c = 16

Subtract 8 from both sides and get

4c = 8

Divide both sides by 4 and get

c = 2

You can test the answer by plugging the result into the original equation.
