The missing value of the solution to the equation y = −2x + 4, is: 3.
<h3>What is the Solution to an Equation?</h3>
The solution to a given equation, is the x and y values of an ordered pair that would make the equation true, if we substitute their values into the equation.
Given the equation, y = -2x + 4, and we have (x, -2) as the solution where the value of x is the missing value in the solution, to find the value of x, substitute y = -2 into the equation and solve for x:
-2 = -2x + 4
Subtract 4 from both sides
-2 - 4 = -2x + 4 - 4 (subtraction property of equality)
-6 = -2x
Divide both sides by -2
-6/-2 = -2x/-2
3 = x
x = 3
Therefore, the missing value is: 3.

Like in real life problems?
if yes then when conducting a survey, when grading quizzes/assignments, etc
I think it would be the Multiplication property of equality
