Answer 2

Hello.

First, let's use the Distributive Property and distribute -4:

$\mathrm{-4(x+2)=24}$

$\mathrm{-4x-8=24}$

Now, add 8 to both sides:

$\mathrm{-4x-8+8=24+8}$

$\mathrm{-4x=24+8}$

$\mathrm{-4x=32}$

Now, divide both sides by -4:

$\Large\boxed{\sf{x=-8}}$

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
