Answer:
- 2
Explanation:
so in order to solve this equation we are going to have to add x to each side of the equal sign to make the x a positive:
-6 - x = -4
+ x + x
making the equation look like this:
-6 = -4 + x
Now we are going to add 4 to each side of the equation to segregate our x:
-6 = -4 + x
+4 + 4
Making the equation look like this:
-2 = x
Now to check our work by placing -2 where x is in the equation -6 - x = -4:
-6 - x = -4 now -6 - (-2) = -4
Since the negative number is next to a subtraction sign -2 becomes positive 2
-6 + (2) = -4
We add them together and....:
-4 = -4
