-4 is what you put on both sides Bc it’s half of b
the problem would be set up as 6+(7*x)=41
first u take off the number 6 by subtracting it from itself to cancel it out then u do the same to the number 41
7x =41 now u need to cancel out the number 7 attatched to the x so u divikde it by itself and then do the same to the other side so 41 divided by 7 =5.9
so x =5.9
-5*-2=-10
The factors to multiply to give negative 10 is -5 and 2
6 plus negative two gives you negative four. The factors to add to give you -4 is 6 and -2
