Alejandra Raymond · Answer 1

-6 + (-6) + (-6) + (-6) + [ (-4) + (-4) + (-4) + (-4) + (-4) + (-4) ] = (-6) (x)

4 (-6) + 6 (-4) = - 6x

-48 = - 6x

8 = x

Final answer: 8

Nicole Blankenship · Answer 2

There are four - 6s and six - 4s. We can simplify your equation to become this:

4 ( - 6) + 6 ( - 4) = - 6x

- 24 - 24 = - 6x

- 48 = - 6x

x = 8

Your missing number is 8.
