Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term and select the missing description. simplify any fractions. -6c - 4 = 14 -6c = 18 c = \boxed{} divide both sides by -6

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the first missing description

To get from \(-6c - 4 = 14\) to \(-6c = 18\), we add 4 to both sides of the equation. So the missing description is "Add 4 to both sides".

Step2: Solve for \(c\)

We have \(-6c = 18\) and we divide both sides by \(-6\). So \(c=\frac{18}{-6}\)

Step3: Simplify the fraction

\(\frac{18}{-6}=-3\)

Answer:

First missing description: Add 4 to both sides; \(c = -3\)
