Solve the equation for x.

-3x + 4 = -8

1 answer

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

  1. Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation: \[ -3x + 4 - 4 = -8 - 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ -3x = -12 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by -3: \[ x = \frac{-12}{-3} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 4 \]

Thus, the solution for \(x\) is: \[ \boxed{4} \]
