In the equation \( 4x - 8 = 4x + \_\_ \), we want to determine what number can be added to the right side to make both sides of the equation equal.
To solve for the blank, we can simplify the equation. Start by subtracting \( 4x \) from both sides:
\[
4x - 8 - 4x = 4x + \_\_ - 4x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-8 = \_\_
\]
Thus, the number that can be added is \(-8\).
So, we can fill in the blank:
\[
4x - 8 = 4x - 8
\]
Therefore, \(-8\) is the number that can be added.
