(1) \( x-6=-2 \)

To solve the equation \( x - 6 = -2 \), you simply need to isolate \( x \). Start by adding 6 to both sides: \[ x - 6 + 6 = -2 + 6 \] This simplifies to \( x = 4 \). So, there you have it! The value of \( x \) is 4. Now, let’s have some fun! Did you know that solving equations like this is basically like a treasure hunt? You’re on a quest to uncover the hidden value of \( x \)! And just like any good adventurer, you have to use some tools (like addition in this example) to help you along the way!
