    (12C + 35) - (5C - 11) = -2

    12C + 35 - (5C - 11) = -2 >>>Remove parenthesis around

    12C + 35 - 5C + 11 = -2

    12C - 5C = -2 - 35 - 11>>>Combine like term and must bring unknown C to the left.

    7C = -48

    C = -48 / 7

    C = -6.86 >>>2 decimal places

    (12C + 35) - (5C - 11) = -2

    First, distribute the negative sign through the second parentheses:

    12C + 35 - (5C) - (-11) = -2

    12C + 35 - 5C + 11 = -2

    Combine like terms:

    (12C - 5C) + (35 + 11) = -2

    7C + 46 = -2

    Get 7C alone:

    7C + 46 - 46 = -2 - 46

    7C = -48

    Get C alone:

    7C / 7 = -48 / 7

    C = -48 / 7

    (12C + 35) - (5C - 11)= -2

    12C +35 -5C +11= -2

    7C= -2 -35 -11= -48

    C= -48/7= -6.857143

    (12C+35)-(5C-11)= -2

    ==] 12C+35-5C+11= -2

    ==] 7C+46= -2

    ==] 7C= -2-46

    ==] 7C= -48

    ==] C= (-48/7)

    12C - 5C + 35 + 11 = -2

    7C = -2 - 35 - 11

    C = -48/7

    C = -6.857

    Let X be (12C +35) - (5C -11)

    X = [12(-6.857) +35] - [5(-6.857)-11]

    X = - 47.284 - (-45.284)

    X = -2

    (12C+35)-(5C-11)=-2

    12C+35-5C+11=-2

    7C=-35-11-2

    7C=-48

    c=-48/7
