Answer 6

when moving a number to the opposite side of an = sign it changes the current sign so in the case of 4 it goes from negative to positive....

it's tied to the x through multiplication, so you have to do the inverse, which is dividing. -36/-4=9. A negative divided by a negative equals a positive.
