Question 222842
How can 12 - 6 = -6
Ans: It isn't.
----------------------------
This is a problem I got from my algebra teacher today.
12 - 6 = -n
she said the answer is -6
Ans: It is.
----------------------
Solving the equation:
12 - 6 = -n
Simplify the left side to get:
6 = -n
---
Multiply both sides by -1 to get:
n = -6
That is what your teacher said.
