No 1 is not your answer, -1 would be your answer.

To show my work, here.

1. Expand (<span>6x −6= 4x − <span>8)
2. </span></span>Subtract <span>4x</span> from both sides (<span>6x−6−4x=−<span>8)
3. simplify 6x - 6 - 4x to 2x - 6 ( 2x - 6 = -8)
4. Add 6 to both sides ( 2x = -8 + 6)
5. simplify -8 + 6 to -2 (2x = -2)
6. divide both sides by 2 (x = -1)</span></span>

What happens when the two addends have opposite signs and the number with the larger magnitude (size) is positive?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

The smaller addend is subtracted from the bigger addend

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the two numbers with a and b such that a > b

So, the mathematical representation will be

+a + (-b)

Open the bracket

+a -b

<em>This implies that the smaller addend (b) is subtracted from the bigger addend (b)</em>

<em></em>

<em>Take for instance; a = 6 and b = 4</em>

<em>This gives</em>

<em></em>+6 + (-4)<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>Open the bracket</em>

<em></em>= +6 - 4<em></em>

<em></em>= 2<em></em>
