Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write an equation. Let x be the unknown number. -2×5-x=1×6
2. Simplify. Multiply all the terms you can. -10-x=6
3. Isolate x. First, add 10 to both sides. Then divide the entire equation by -1 to cancel out the - in the x. x=-16
4. Check your answer by replacing the x in the original eqaution with your answer. -2×5-(-16)=1×6 becomes -10+16=6, which further becomes 6=6.

The answer is correct!
