Could someone me solve this problem?

x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

First, start by getting rid of -8 on either side by adding 8 to each side so you have the sequence below. Remember that 'minus 8' is also symbolizing 'plus negative 8,' so you can use it's inverse operation.

x/-4 - 8 = -2

x/-4 = 6

Then, multiply each remaining side by -4 because the bottom number of the fraction is -4.

-4 * x/-4 = 6 * -4

Multiplying each side right should make the -4 * x/-4 side cancel out and leave you with x = -24.
