I am not sure but I think it’s -4

Answer 2

x=4

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−x=2−3x+6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−x=2−3x+6

−x=2+−3x+6

−x=(−3x)+(2+6)(Combine Like Terms)

−x=−3x+8

−x=−3x+8

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

−x+3x=−3x+8+3x

2x=8

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 8/2

x=4
