Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-3x + 4 = -8\), we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Isolate the term with \(x\). \[ -3x + 4 = -8 \] Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ -3x = -8 - 4 \] \[ -3x = -12 \]

Step 2: Solve for \(x\). Divide both sides by -3: \[ x = \frac{-12}{-3} \] \[ x = 4 \]

Solution: The value of \(x\) is \(4\).
