yep.... to get rid of the negative x, divide both sides by negative one...

Yes. If -x=6-8+2 then it will be x=-(6-8+2),x=-6+8-2

Yes if -x=6 then x=-6
TO get the answer you
-x = 6
Multiply both sides of the equation by -1 and you get x=-6

-x = 6 you can think this like -1x = 6
multiple both side equivalent by -1 it become x= -6

in an equation if you perform the same operations to both sides,the equation will hold.if -x=6,you multiply both sides by -1 you get x=-6so -x=6 is the same as x=-6

of course!!!
solution:
-x = 6
-x/-1 = 6/-1
x = -6

yes...because -x is actually (-1)x, where you can divide both sides by -1 to lose the negative sign in x, and will result to x = -6...trust me, im an engineering student...hehehe...

ya it's true
proof:
-x=6
or, -1*x=6
or, x=6/-1
i.e. x = -6
so simple , bye!

yes, you need to divide it to cancel the negative or just transpose it because it is not posible that x is negative, it is always positive.. :)
