I’m not sure how to read the signs in your equation. Here are the possible interpretations and their solutions — pick the one that matches what you meant.

1) -15 - 2(14 + c) = -3
-15 - 28 - 2c = -3 → -43 - 2c = -3 → -2c = 40 → c = -20

2) 15 - 2(14 + c) = -3
15 - 28 - 2c = -3 → -13 - 2c = -3 → -2c = 10 → c = -5

3) -15 - 2(14 + c) = -3c
-15 - 28 - 2c = -3c → -43 - 2c = -3c → -43 + c = 0 → c = 43

4) 15 - 2(14 + c) = -3c
15 - 28 - 2c = -3c → -13 - 2c = -3c → -13 + c = 0 → c = 13

Which one did you mean? If you paste the equation on one line (e.g. -15 - 2(14 + c) = -3c) I’ll solve that exactly.
