How do I work this problem x+10= -6?

I have to work the problem out finding xHow do I work this problem x+10= -6?
x+10= -6





subtract 10 from both sides, we'll have,





x + 10 -10 = -6 -10


x = -16How do I work this problem x+10= -6?
x+10=-6








Since 10 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 10 from both sides.





x=-10-6








Subtract 6 from -10 to get -16.





x=-16
First, you subtract 10 from both sides.





x +10=-6


-10 -10


_________


x = -16





then you're done!
First subtract both sides by 10


x+10-10=-6-10


Solve for x


x=-16





If you want to check if x=-16 is the correct answer plug it in to your x in your given equation x+10=-6 like this:





Check


-16+10=-6


-6=-6 Correct (Since both sides of the equation is equal the answer x=-16 is the correct answer)





Hope that helps!
add -10 to both sides


so the 10s on the left side cancel out and x=-6+-10


so x=-16
