To solve the inequality \( x - 6 < -4 \), you need to isolate the variable \( x \).
- Add 6 to both sides of the inequality: \[ x - 6 + 6 < -4 + 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ x < 2 \]
The inequality is now isolated, and we can summarize the steps:
- You added 6 to both sides of the inequality.
- The resulting inequality is \( x < 2 \).
The final answer is: \[ x < 2 \]
