Yup. You don't have to write the 0 though. :P
x/4=-6.
Now multiply both sides by 4. It will cancel on the left, leaving the variable isolated.

That's how it should look, but you can drop that zero because it's no longer needed. Now to solve for 'x' you need to multiply each side by 4, because you want to isolate the variables.
