Question: Solve for the variable. 24=12+4c
1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$24 = 12 + 4c$$ for the variable $$c$$.
2. **Isolate the variable term:** Subtract $$12$$ from both sides to get the term with $$c$$ alone.
$$24 - 12 = 12 + 4c - 12$$
3. **Simplify both sides:**
$$12 = 4c$$
4. **Solve for $$c$$:** Divide both sides by $$4$$ to isolate $$c$$.
$$\frac{12}{4} = \frac{4c}{4}$$
$$\cancel{\frac{12}{4}} = \cancel{\frac{4c}{4}}$$
$$3 = c$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$c = 3$$
