Question

What is 2x-4. I really don’t understand

Answer 1

2 * -4 = -8

Explanation:

2 * -4 = -8

It is just like multiplying two numbers like... 2 * 4 = 8

You must need to know that:

+a * -b = -c

-a * -b = +c

+a * +b = +c

In your question;

+a * -b = -c

a = 2

b = -4

c = -8

therefore:

2 * -4 = -8
