Question 755108
2x-6=-10

To solve this problem, there are a few basic steps:


1. Let's start with the equation itself:  2x-6=-10


2. To solve for x, first you have to isolate it. So you have to add 6 to the other side of the equation.

2x=-10+6


3. Now the equation is:  2x=-4


4. To get x by itself, you have to divide the 2 on the other side of the equation.

x=-4/2


5. Divide as usual:  x=-2
