Solve (-4--8)-(-6+x)=(-4-2x)

$$(-4--8)-(-6+x)=(-4-2x)$$

Solve for x

$$x=-14$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

The opposite of -8 is 8.

$$-4+8-\left(-6+x\right)=-4-2x$$

Add -4 and 8 to get 4.

$$4-\left(-6+x\right)=-4-2x$$

To find the opposite of -6+x, find the opposite of each term.

$$4-\left(-6\right)-x=-4-2x$$

The opposite of -6 is 6.

$$4+6-x=-4-2x$$

Add 4 and 6 to get 10.

$$10-x=-4-2x$$

Add 2x to both sides.

$$10-x+2x=-4$$

Combine -x and 2x to get x.

$$10+x=-4$$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$$x=-4-10$$

Subtract 10 from -4 to get -14.

$$x=-14$$
