To solve the equation, you need to isolate the variable x.
To do this, you can start by adding 2 to both sides of the equation:
x + 4 - 2 = -10 + 2
This simplifies to:
x + 2 = -8
Next, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to isolate x:
x + 2 - 2 = -8 - 2
This simplifies to:
x = -10
Therefore, x = -10.
