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

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

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

Solution: \(x = 4\)
