x=32

Answer 1

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

1. Add 2 to both sides:

   \(-\frac{x}{4} - 2 + 2 = -10 + 2\)

   This simplifies to:

   \(-\frac{x}{4} = -8\)

2. Multiply both sides by -4 to eliminate the fraction:

   \(-4 \times -\frac{x}{4} = -4 \times -8\)

   This simplifies to:

   \(x = 32\)

So, the solution is:

x = 32
