To solve the equation \(-2x + 6 = 10\), we can follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 6 from both sides:

    \(-2x + 6 - 6 = 10 - 6\)

    This simplifies to:

    \(-2x = 4\)

  2. Now, divide both sides by -2:

    \(\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{4}{-2}\)

    This simplifies to:

    \(x = -2\)

So the solution is \(x = -2\). The correct response is:

-2
