To solve for \( x \) in the equation
\[ \frac{x}{4} - 2 = -10, \]
follow these steps:
- Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[ \frac{x}{4} = -10 + 2 \]
- Simplify the right side:
\[ \frac{x}{4} = -8 \]
- Multiply both sides by 4 to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = -8 \times 4 \]
- Calculate the product:
\[ x = -32 \]
Thus, the solution is
\[ x = -32. \]
