Question

-6 + y = -2
Can someone tell me the answer and explain it to me

Answer 1

okay so, when we are adding negatives, to get fro. a bigger negative (-6) to a smaller negative (-2) we add a positive number. now as we think about this, when we take positive 6 and positive 2 and subtract we get 4. now when we have the -6 and add 4 we get -2.
ANSWER: -6+4=-2
4

Answer 2

-6+y=-2
first add 6 to isolate the variable
y=-2+6
add like terms
y=4
