Since one of the numbers is -2, we can determine that the other number is 8

-2 + 8 = 6

Hope this helps

Answer:

The number can be anything equal then or less than 8.

Explanation:

The sum of two numbers is at most 6 (note, one of the numbers is -2), meaning:

x + (-2) ≤ 6

Isolate the x. Add 2 to both sides

x - 2 (+2) ≤ 6 (+2)

x ≤ 6 + 2

x ≤ 8

The number can be anything equal then or less than 8.
