Answer

The graph would be translated in the positive x-direction by $c$ units.

Work Step by Step

Note that $c \gt 0$. If the equation $x = f(t)$ is replaced by $x = c+f(t)$, then each value of $x$ would be translated in the positive x-direction by $c$ units. Note that the y-values would remain unchanged. Therefore, the graph would be translated in the positive x-direction by $c$ units.
