To solve for [tex]\( c \)[/tex] in the equation:
[tex]\[
-3 + c = -3
\][/tex]
follow these steps:
1. Isolate the variable [tex]\( c \)[/tex]:
To isolate [tex]\( c \)[/tex], we need to get rid of the [tex]\(-3\)[/tex] on the left side of the equation. We can do this by adding [tex]\( 3 \)[/tex] to both sides of the equation. This helps to cancel out the [tex]\(-3\)[/tex] on the left:
[tex]\[
-3 + c + 3 = -3 + 3
\][/tex]
2. Simplify both sides:
On the left side, [tex]\(-3 + 3\)[/tex] cancels out to [tex]\( 0 \)[/tex], leaving us with [tex]\( c \)[/tex]. On the right side, [tex]\(-3 + 3\)[/tex] also simplifies to [tex]\( 0 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
c = 0
\][/tex]
Thus, the solution to the equation [tex]\( -3 + c = -3 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
c = 0
\][/tex]
