Answer:


\large\boxed{x=-80}

Explanation:

In this question, we're trying to get x by itself, so we know what the value of x equals to.

We would do simple adding / subtracting / multiplying.

Solve:


-6 = (x)/(8) + 4\\\\\text{The first thing we can do is subtract 4 on both sides, in order to get the} \\(x)/(8)\,\text{by itself}\\\\-10=(x)/(8)\\\\\text{To get x by itself, we would multiply by 8 since the opposite of divison is}\\\text{ multiplication}\\\\-80=x

When you're done solving, you should get -80

This means that x = -80

I hope this helped you out.

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!
