Solution Steps

Step 1: Rewrite the fraction as the sum of fractions

\[ \frac{-2x - 4}{-2x} = \frac{-2x}{-2x} + \frac{-4}{-2x} \]

Step 2: Simplify each fraction

\[ \frac{-2x}{-2x} = 1 \] \[ \frac{-4}{-2x} = \frac{2}{x} \]

Step 3: Combine the simplified fractions

\[ 1 + \frac{2}{x} \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{1 + \frac{2}{x}}\)
