How do you solve -2x=4

Answer 1

-2x = 4

First, divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like: x =
`(4)/(-2)`
Second, simplify
`(4)/(-2)` to
`-(4)/(2)` / Your problem should look like: x =
`-(4)/(2)`
Third, simplify
`(4)/(2)` to 2. / Your problem should look like: x = -2

Answer: x = -2
