N-(-6)=4
If we go by the order of operations we need to simplify the parenthesis first.
Lets look at the problem like this...
N -1(-6)= 4
We know that a negative number multiplied by another negative number is positive, right?
so this means...
N + 6 = 4
now we simply isolate the variable N by subtracting the 6 from both sides of the equation.
N = -2
Thats it.
Good Luck
