Question

here is an equation.
$2x = -4$
draw a graph to help solve the equation. then find the solution to the equation.
solution: $x = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x in the equation

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 2x = -4 \), we divide both sides by 2.

$$ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} $$

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying the left side gives \( x \), and simplifying the right side gives \( -2 \).

$$ x = -2 $$

Answer:

\( x = -2 \)
