To solve the equation \(-4x - 10 = -2\), follow these steps: 1. **Add 10 to both sides** to isolate the term with \(x\): \[ -4x - 10 + 10 = -2 + 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ -4x = 8 \] 2. **Divide both sides by -4** to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{8}{-4} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -2 \] So, the solution to the equation is: \[ \boxed{-2} \]

To solve the equation \(-4x - 10 = -2\), follow these steps:

Add 10 to both sides to isolate the term with \(x\): \[ -4x - 10 + 10 = -2 + 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ -4x = 8 \]
Divide both sides by -4 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{8}{-4} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -2 \]

So, the solution to the equation is: \[ \boxed{-2} \]
