Given the equation:


-4-(x-2)=5x+6

We will find the value of x as follows:


-4-x+2=5x+6

combine the like terms:


\begin{gathered} -5x-x=6-2+4 \\ -6x=8 \end{gathered}

divide both sides by (-6)


\begin{gathered} (-6x)/(-6)=(8)/(-6) \\ \\ x=-(4)/(3) \end{gathered}

So, the answer will be x = -4/3
