Solve for x .

x/4−2=−10

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation: x/4 - 2 = -10

First, we can add 2 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -2 term on the left side:

x/4 - 2 + 2 = -10 + 2
x/4 = -8

Next, to isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the 4 in the denominator on the left side:

4 * (x/4) = 4 * -8
x = -32

Therefore, the solution to the equation x/4 - 2 = -10 is x = -32.
