To solve this problem, layout an equation. -4x=36. As you know, x cannot be a negative so, we flip it. We have to do that the same to 36. So now, we have an equation that we can solve. 4x=-36. Divide 4 by 4x and -36.

So, the answer is x=-9.

-4x = 36

divide both sides by -4

-4x/-4= 36/-4

x= -9

Answer: x= -9
