Answer:
mathematics ba talaga po ba ito?
8+(-10) is like 10-8 except backwards so how i do some problems is like that and then add a negative sign; so say if i were doing 8+(-10), i would do 10-8 which equals 2 and then since 10 is bigger than 8 and it’s a negative number, i would put -2 as my answer
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If the lonely negative sign infront of the brackets is confusing, it can be rewritten as -1.
To solve, simplify by expanding then isolate x.
-8 = -( x +4)
-8 = -1 ( x +4) Distribute over brackets by changing the each term's sign
-8 = -x - 4 Start isolating x by moving everything to the other side
-8 +4 = -x -4 + 4 Add 4 to both sides so it cancels out on the right
-4 = -x
-4 = -1x <= -x is the same at -1x
-4/-1 = -x/-1 <=divide both sides by negative 1
4 = x
x = 4 <= usually we write the variable on the left side
