Answer:

c = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that -2 is a root, you can do the synthetic division with an unknown value for c. Then solve for the value of c that makes the remainder be zero. See the attachment for the work.

The second attachment shows that (x+2) is a factor of the resulting cubic.
