6) Explain why -4 -2 = -6.

since both numbers have the same sign the rule of "same sign keep the sign" applies and since they are both negative instead of subtracting you add if they were the inverse of each other you would have to subtract but clearly that isn't needed in this situation.

hope that helps a little!!

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
