To simplify the expression \( (3x - 4) + (-7x + 8) \), follow these steps:
1. Remove the parentheses:
\[
3x - 4 - 7x + 8
\]
2. Combine like terms:
- For the \( x \) terms: \( 3x - 7x = -4x \)
- For the constant terms: \( -4 + 8 = 4 \)
Putting it all together, we get:
\[
-4x + 4
\]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
-4x + 4
\]
