Answer 1

Answer:  there is possibility of two equations

2(c-2)=8 or 2(2-c)=8

Step-by-step explanation:

lets check:-

2(c-2)=8

2c-4=8

2c=4

c=2

this equation is not valid

another one

2(2-c)=8

4-2c=8

-2c=4

c=-2

this equation is true

Answer 2

Answer:

2c - 4 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

2(c-2) = 8

= 2c - 4 = 8
