Simplifying both sides of the equation, we have:
3x - 2x + 4 = 5x - 4x - 8
x + 4 = x - 8
Subtracting x from both sides of the equation, we get:
4 = -8
Since this equation is contradictory, there is no solution.
Therefore, the answer is D) no solution.

Apologies for the incorrect response in my previous interaction.
Let's solve the equation step by step:
3x - 2x + 4 = 5x - 4x - 8
Combining like terms on both sides, we have:
x + 4 = x - 8
Next, subtracting x from both sides, we get:
4 = -8
Since 4 is not equal to -8, this equation is contradictory.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) no solution.
