Answer

$c=-\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Work Step by Step

$\lim\limits_{x\to2^-}f(x)=\lim\limits_{x\to2^-}(x+3)=2^-+3=5.$ $\lim\limits_{x\to2^+}f(x)=\lim\limits_{x\to2^+}(cx+6)=c(2^+)+6=2c+6.$ For the function to be continuous, $\lim\limits_{x\to2^+}f(x)=\lim\limits_{x\to2^-}f(x)\to$ $2c+6=5\to c=-\dfrac{1}{2}.$
