Question

Which value for x makes the following equation true?

−2x−4=−6

Answer 1

Explanation:

−2x − 4 = −6

−2x − 4 + 4 = −6 + 4

−2x = −2

−2x/-2 = −2/-2

x = 1

Answer 2

The equation is,

→ -2x - 4 = -6

Let's solve for the value of x,

→ -2x - 4 = -6

→ -2x = -6 + 4

→ x = (-2)/(-2)

→ x = 2/2

→ [ x = 1 ]

Thus, the value of x is 1.
