In this paper, we show that the existence of certain first-countable compact-like extensions is equivalent to the equality between corresponding cardinal characteristics of the continuum. For instance,
$\mathfrak b=\mathfrak s=\mathfrak c$ if and only if every regular first-countable space of weight 
$< \mathfrak c$ can be densely embedded into a regular first-countable countably compact space.
