Equation/Question:

-6x-(-8)=2

Answer/Way I did it:

1. Remove parentheses.

-6x+8=2

2. Subtract 8 from both sides.

-6x=2-8

3. Simplify 2-8 to -6.

-6x=-6

4. Divide both sides by -6.

x=1

-------------

Checking:

Equation/Question:

−6x−(−8)=2

----------------------

1. Let x=1.

−6×1+8=2

2. Simplify -6×1 to −6.

-6+8=2

3. Simplify -6+8 to 2.

2=2
