Evaluate
11c2−16=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
11c2=0+16
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
11c2=16
Divide both sides
1111c2=1116
Divide the numbers
c2=1116
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
c=±1116
