Answer:

Multiply both sides of the equation by -2

Distribute -1/2 over (x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}(x+4)=6[/tex]

Method 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by -2 ------> Step 1

[tex](x+4)=6*(-2)[/tex]

[tex](x+4)=-12[/tex]

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

[tex]x=-12-4=-16[/tex]

Method 2

Distribute -1/2 over (x+4)-------> Step 1

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}x-2=6[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by -2

[tex]x+4=6(-2)[/tex]

[tex]x+4=-12[/tex]

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

[tex]x=-12-4=-16[/tex]
