Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the equation.

$| c - 1 | = 3 - 3$

Step 1.2

Subtract $3$ from $3$ .

$| c - 1 | = 0$

Step 2

Remove the absolute value term. This creates a $\pm$ on the right side of the equation because $| x | = \pm x$ .

$c - 1 = \pm 0$

Step 3

Plus or minus $0$ is $0$ .

$c - 1 = 0$

Step 4

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$c = 1$
