    4x = -56

    Divide both terms by 4

    x = -14

    4 * -14 = -56

    Divide both sides by 4:

    x = -56/4

    x = -14

    To double-check your answer, plug-in -14 for x:

    4(-14) =? 56

    56 =? 56 <-- check!

    So the answer is x = -14

    Check:

    4(-14) = -56

    4x = 56

    x = 56 / 4

    x = 14

    for check

    put x = 14

    4(14) = 56

    56 = 56

    4x = -56

    Divide by 4, to get x by itself.

    4x/4 = -56/4

    x = -14

    4x = -56

    4(-14) = -56

    56 = 56 ok

    What you do is divide -56 by 4, leaving x by itself.

    It's -14.

    4x=-56

    Divide both sides by four.

    4x cancels out.

    x=-14
