Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{4}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Create an equation

$\sf{x - 10 = - 6}$

Move 10 to right hand side and change its sign

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = - 6 + 10}}$

The negative and positive integers are always subtracted but possess the sign of the bigger integer

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = 4}}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

This math promblem!!!!

1. You convert all the numbers into decimals.
a. For 8 1/9 you multiply 8x9 and add the numerator which in this case is one, so the equation would be 8x9=72 then 72+1= 73
b. For 81/10 I used a calculator for accuracy and I just divided 81 by 10 because the fraction line can also be used as a division sign. For this I got 8.1
2. Now I looked at all the numbers I had including the fractions I converted to decimals... 8.115, 8.55, 73, and 8.1
3. Lastly, I put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 8.1, 8.115, 8.55, and 73
4. In order to figure out which one is the smallest and largest, I just added zeros on the end of the numbers so they would all be the same: 8.1-->8.100, 8.115 I kept the same because it already had 3 decimal places, 8.55--> 8.550, and 73--> 73.000
5. Then i could tell which number was the largest by the decimal place numbers.
**Hope this was helpful... It's kind of hard to explain online but hopefully you have a better understanding of how to do it!**
