But there is no "question"? What is she supposed to do with the equation?

\(\displaystyle 2x+4 \ = \ 2(-x)\)
\(\displaystyle 2x+4 \ = \ -2x\)
\(\displaystyle 4x+4 \ = \ 0\)
\(\displaystyle 4x \ = \ -4\)
\(\displaystyle x \ = \ -1\)
\(\displaystyle 2x+4 \ = \ -2x\)
\(\displaystyle 4x+4 \ = \ 0\)
\(\displaystyle 4x \ = \ -4\)
\(\displaystyle x \ = \ -1\)
