Eliminate the radical by squaring both sides of the equation.

Solve for c.

Substitute the value of c into the original equation.

Given: $sqrt(c+10)=4$

Square both sides:

$c+10 = 16$

Subtract 10 from both sides:

$c = 6$

Substitute 6 into the original equation:

$sqrt(6+10)=4$

$sqrt(16) = 4$

$4 = 4$

This checks.
