Whats the answer two - 10=-4+2x

-10 = - 4+2x

+4

-6=2x

-6 divided by 2 = - 3

x = - 3

You first want to leave your x and your number alone so you have to get rid of the 4. Easiest way to do it is add a 4 to the other side of the equation so it is now - 10+4=2x or - 6=2x. You now want to leave the x alone so you have to divide by 2 the - 6 (-6/2=2x/2) That should be equal to - 3 which is your answer. Remember, one is negative and since your signs are different your answer HAS to be negative!
