1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $-4X - 4 = -28X$ for $X$. 2. **Write down the equation:** $$-4X - 4 = -28X$$ 3. **Add $4X$ to both sides to get all $X$ terms on one side:** $$-4X - 4 + 4X = -28X + 4X$$ $$-4 = -24X$$ 4. **Divide both sides by $-24$ to isolate $X$:** $$X = \frac{-4}{-24}$$ 5. **Simplify the fraction by canceling common factors:** $$X = \frac{\cancel{-4}}{\cancel{-24}} = \frac{1}{6}$$ 6. **Final answer:** $$X = \frac{1}{6}$$
