Solution Steps

To solve the equation \(\frac{-x}{24} = -4\), we need to isolate \(x\). We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by \(-24\) to eliminate the fraction and solve for \(x\).

Step 1: Isolate \( x \)

Starting with the equation: \[ \frac{-x}{24} = -4 \] we multiply both sides by \(-24\) to eliminate the fraction: \[ -x = -4 \times -24 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Right Side

Calculating the right side: \[ -x = 96 \]

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

To find \( x \), we multiply both sides by \(-1\): \[ x = -96 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{x = -96}\)
