Hey there, Nancykkxx00!
To solve the equation
[tex]x \div 4 - 6 = 2[/tex]
In backward problem-solving strategy, you first need to, if there are no parenthesis, either add or subtract first from both sides.
Here we have a negative 6 ( -6 ), so since we are doing it backwards, instead of subtracting 6, we are adding 6 to both sides.
[tex]x \div 4 - 6 + 6 = 2 + 6[/tex]
[tex]x \div 4 = 8[/tex]
( The six from the left side cancels out making it 0 )
Now we move to division. Since we are diving (we always have yo do the opposite of what we are doing), we need to multiply. So,
[tex]x \div 4 \times 4 = 8 \times 4[/tex]
Always do it on both sides.
Now, we end up with
[tex]x = 32[/tex]
If we plug it in, it will be like this
[tex](32) \div 4 - 6 = 2[/tex]
[tex]8 - 6 = 2[/tex]
[tex]2 = 2[/tex]
So, the answer is
[tex]x = 32[/tex]
Thank you for using Brainly.
See you soon!
