I believe your answer is:
"Add 4 to both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 12."

Here’s why:
⸻⸻⸻⸻
- To solve for 'x', we would have to use inverse operations.
- We would first have to add four to both sides to undo the negative four. Addition is the opposite of subtraction.
- We would then divide by 2 to isolate 'x'. Division is the opposite of multiplication.
