Answer 1

First you minus 2 from both sides then you divide -6 by both sides (it’s on the photo)

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ -6x + 2 = -10

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

Then the value of x will be,

→ -6x + 2 = -10

Subtract RHS with the number 2:

→ -6x = -10 - 2

→ -6x = -12

Cancel negative sign from both sides:

→ 6x = 12

→ x = 12/6

→ [ x = 2 ]

Hence, the value of x is 2.
