Hey there!☺



In our first step, we will simplify both sides of the equation:

Now subtract 4 from both sides:

In our last step, we will divide both sides by -2:

x=-7/2 is your answer.
Hope this helps!☺
For -4+2, plot -4, then move to the right 2 spaces. You should land on -2.
For -4+(-2), plot -4 then move the left 2 spaces. You should land on -6.
I just worked out the problem twice and got -4.5 both times.
