<u>Equation/Question:</u>
-6x-(-8)=2
<u>Answer/Way I did it:</u>
1. Remove parentheses.
-6x+8=2
2. Subtract 8 from both sides.
-6x=2-8
3. Simplify 2-8 to -6.
-6x=-6
4. Divide both sides by -6.
<u>x=1</u>

Hope this helped :3
First line because 4(2a+1)=8a+4 and 9a+4-(8a+4)= a
Second line because a times 2 =2a and 2a+1-2a=1
<span>Although the second equality is more or less obvious since 2a+1 leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by a.</span>
Answer:
Andre has the correct answer. When simplified his answer is equivalent to the original equation.
