Explanation:

Step1: Solve \( x - 6 = -4 \)

Add 6 to both sides: \( x - 6 + 6 = -4 + 6 \)
\( x = 2 \)

Step2: Solve \( x + 3 = -7 \)

Subtract 3 from both sides: \( x + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3 \)
\( x = -10 \)

Step3: Solve \( 5x = -2 \)

Divide both sides by 5: \( x = \frac{-2}{5} = -0.4 \)

Step4: Solve \( 0.5x = 5 \)

Multiply both sides by 2: \( x = 5 \times 2 \)
\( x = 10 \)

Answer:

• \( x - 6 = -4 \) matches \( x = 2 \)
• \( x + 3 = -7 \) matches \( x = -10 \)
• \( 5x = -2 \) matches \( x = -0.4 \)
• \( 0.5x = 5 \) matches \( x = 10 \)
