12+4c+c=c+4
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3+c.
12+5c=c+4
Combine 4c and c to get 5c.
12+5c-c=4
Subtract c from both sides.
12+4c=4
Combine 5c and -c to get 4c.
4c=4-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
4c=-8
Subtract 12 from 4 to get -8.
c=\frac{-8}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
c=-2
Divide -8 by 4 to get -2.
