Hey there! :) 

To find the value of x - 4, we first need to find the value of x.

So, we must solve 2x - 6 = -2

To do this, we must isolate x.

So, let's start off by adding 6 to both sides.

2x = -2 + 6

Simplify.

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 2

So, now let's plug in "2" for x in x  - 4.

x - 4

(2) - 4

Simplify.

-2 

So, the value of "x - 4" is -2.

~Hope I helped!~
