Use the image to answer the question.

A number line with arrows at both ends is shown ranging from negative 4 to 6 in 1 unit increments. Closed circles are plotted at negative 2, 1, 2, and 5.

Four solutions are on the graph. Identify the solution to the equation −4+x=−2 .

The solution to the equation -4 + x = -2 can be found by solving for x.

-4 + x = -2
x = -2 + 4
x = 2

Looking at the number line, the closed circle plotted at 2 is the solution to the equation -4 + x = -2.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct that.

The solution to -4 + x = -2 can be found by isolating x:

-4 + x = -2
x = -2 + 4
x = 2

So the solution to the equation -4 + x = -2 is x = 2. In the given number line, the closed circle plotted at 2 is indeed the solution to this equation. Thank you for pointing that out!
