Plug in -16 for x. So: \[\frac{-16+8}{4}\] Since subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, we just switch the subtraction to addition and remove the negative sign. Think you can do the rest?

OpenStudy (derpisthewordorisit):

D, 6!

OpenStudy (derpisthewordorisit):

Correct? Incorrect?

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

No...-16+8 is -8. lol

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

-8/4 is...?

OpenStudy (derpisthewordorisit):

-2

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
