You are confused. The expression
6x-4 will equal six times whatever x is, then subtract 4.

To solve the equation 6x + 4 = 0 by subtracting instead of adding, we can isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start with the equation: 6x + 4 = 0.
2. To eliminate the constant term 4 from the left side of the equation, subtract 4 from both sides: 6x + 4 - 4 = 0 - 4.
3. Simplify both sides of the equation: 6x = -4.
4. Now, we only have the term 6x on the left side of the equation. To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 6: (6x)/6 = -4/6.
5. Simplify both sides of the equation: x = -2/3.
So, by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation, you can solve for x and eliminate the constant term on the left side.
