Hello.
First, let's use the Distributive Property and distribute -4:
[tex]\mathrm{-4(x+2)=24}[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{-4x-8=24}[/tex]
Now, add 8 to both sides:
[tex]\mathrm{-4x-8+8=24+8}[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{-4x=24+8}[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{-4x=32}[/tex]
Now, divide both sides by -4:
[tex]\Large\boxed{\sf{x=-8}}[/tex]
I hope it helps.
Have a nice day.
