Answer:


\Large \boxed{{x =- (5)/(2) }}

Explanation:

We need to isolate the
x variable on one side of the equation to find the value of
x that makes the equation true.


-10=4x

Divide both sides of the equation by 4.


\displaystyle (-10)/(4) =(4x)/(4)

Simplify the equation.


\displaystyle (-5)/(2) =x

Answer:

-2.5 = x

Explanation:

-10 = 4x

the equation between 4 and x is multiplication

as our goal is to move the x on its separate side, we should divide each side by 4 to get rid of the bond between the 4 and the x

Therefore,

-10 = 4x

-10/4 = x

Simplify into decimal if needed

-2.5 = x

Hope that helped!!! k
