-4x - 6 = 10

To solve the equation, you will have to isolate the x. Because of the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

-4x - 6 = 10

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First add 6 to both sides

-4x - 6 (+6) = 10 (+6)

-4x = 10 + 6

-4x = 16

Isolate the x, divide - 4 from both sides

-4x/-4 = 16/-4

x = 16/-4

x = -4

-4 is your answer

hope this helps
