Type the integer that makes the following subtraction sentence true:

Question

–16 −
= –22

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( -16 - x = -22 \), we can isolate \( x \).

First, we can add \( 16 \) to both sides of the equation:

\[ -16 - x + 16 = -22 + 16 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -x = -6 \]

Next, we multiply both sides by \( -1 \):

\[ x = 6 \]

So, the integer that makes the subtraction sentence true is \( \boxed{6} \).
