Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve for "x" by rearranging the equation and getting the "x" by itself on one side. Remember, whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side.

-6 + x = -2                         <----- Original equation
+6         +6                        <----- Add 6 to both sides to isolate "x"

0 + x = 4                           <----- After the addition

x = 4                                 <----- Rewrite
