6=_-(-8) find the missing value

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

when there are two negative signs directly next to each other, it becomes a positive. Set the equation. Let the unknown number be signified by the variable, x:

6 = x - (-8)

6 = x + 8

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

6 (-8) = x + 8 (-8)

6 - 8 = x

x = 6 - 8

x = -2

-2 is your missing value.

Hey there!

6 = - (-8)

• We’re going to substitute the blank value as “x” because we don’t know the variable is just yet.. it is unknown

x - (-8) = 6

x + 8 = 6

SUBTRACT 8 to BOTH SIDES

x + 8 - 8 = 6 - 8

CANCEL out: 8 - 8 because that gives you 0

KEEP: 6 - 8 because that helps solve for the x-value

x = 6 - 8

6 - 8 = x

x = -2

-2

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

step-by-step explanation:

in the absence of parentheses, i will have to make some assumptions:   i interpret your (3x+5/y^6)(4y^3/5)​ to mean:

3x + 5     4y^(3/5)       (3x + 5)(4)

* =

    y^6             1               y^(6-3/5)

if this is not what you expected, repost your question using parentheses to indicate whether you meant

4y^3

    or   4y^(3/5)
