Answer 1

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 4x = -24 \), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
\[
x = \frac{-24}{4}
\]

2. Calculate the right side:
\[
x = -6
\]

Therefore, the solution is:
\[
\boxed{-6}
\]

So the correct response is \( x = -6 \) or "x equals negative 6".
