To solve the equation \(4 - 2x = 10\), we can follow the steps you've provided. Here's the solution in a structured way:
Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
\[ 4 - 2x - 4 = 10 - 4 \]
\[ -2x = 6 \]
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
\[ \frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{6}{-2} \]
\[ x = -3 \]
Thus, the solution is \(x = -3\).
