solve for x

Question

x/4 - 2=-10

Answer 1

To solve for \( x \) in the equation

\[ \frac{x}{4} - 2 = -10, \]

follow these steps:

1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( x \):

\[ \frac{x}{4} = -10 + 2 \]

2. Simplify the right side:

\[ \frac{x}{4} = -8 \]

3. Multiply both sides by 4 to solve for \( x \):

\[ x = -8 \times 4 \]

4. Calculate the product:

\[ x = -32 \]

Thus, the solution is

\[ x = -32. \]
