If $3(-2) = \nabla +2$, then what does $\nabla$ equal?
I can start by simplifying the left side of the equation by multiplying 3 and -2, which gives -6. So the equation becomes $-6 = \nabla +2$. To isolate $\nabla$, I need to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation. This gives me $-8 = \nabla$. So the value of $\nabla$ that makes the equation true is -8.
