start with the right side of the equation, multiply -4 by the numbers in the parenthesis to get 24x-22=-4-(-24x) this would eventually end up being 24x-22=-4+24x because of the parenthesis in between the two negative signs it would turn the number positive
cancel like terms -22=-4 add 22 to itself and the -4 after canceling out the 22 by itself it remains as a 0 0=18 since the solution ends with no 'x' its ends up being no solution
