Question

Solve:
-4 + x = 6
A)-24
B)-10
C)-2
D)10

Answer 1

You have a negative 4 being added to the variable. To solve you need to use the opposite operation (what is the opposite of addition?)

For example:

7 = -3 + h

Subtraction -3 from each side.

7 -(-3) = -3- (-3) + h

10 = h

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 10 so D

Explanation:

-4 + x = 6

add 4 both sides to get the x by itself

so 4 + 6 = 10

then the final answer is x = 10
