To solve the equation \( 4(c-3) + 3(c+3) = 7c - 3 \), we will first expand both sides and then combine like terms.
Expand the left side: \[ 4(c - 3) = 4c - 12 \] \[ 3(c + 3) = 3c + 9 \] So, the left side becomes: \[ 4c - 12 + 3c + 9 = 7c - 3 \]
Combine like terms: \[ (4c + 3c) + (-12 + 9) = 7c - 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 7c - 3 = 7c - 3 \]
Compare both sides:
Since both sides of the equation are equal, \( 7c - 3 = 7c - 3 \), this indicates that the equation is true for all values of \( c \).
Thus, the solution is that the equation holds for all \( c \) (it's an identity).
