Question

solve for c.
2 + c + 11 = -c - 19
c =

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms on left

$2 + 11 + c = 13 + c$

Step2: Add \( c \) to both sides

$13 + c + c = -19$ → $13 + 2c = -19$

Step3: Subtract 13 from both sides

$2c = -19 - 13$ → $2c = -32$

Step4: Divide by 2

$c = \frac{-32}{2}$ → $c = -16$

Answer:

\( -16 \)
