To solve for x, you need to isolate the variable x.
Starting with the equation -3x + 4 = -8, you first want to get rid of the constant term on one side of the equation. To do this, subtract 4 from both sides:
-3x + 4 - 4 = -8 - 4
-3x = -12
Next, you want to isolate the variable x. To do this, divide both sides of the equation by -3:
(-3x)/-3 = -12/-3
x = -4/3
Therefore, the solution is x = -4/3.
Solve for x.
