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

Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \(x\).

\[ -3x + 4 - 4 = -8 - 4 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -3x = -12 \]

Step 2: Now, divide both sides by -3 to solve for \(x\).

\[ x = \frac{-12}{-3} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 4 \]

Solution: \(x = 4\)
