Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \huge{\boxed{ \sf{x = 4}}}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{ - 8 - x = x - 4x}[/tex]
Collect like terms
⇒[tex] \sf{ - 8 - x = - 3x}[/tex]
Move 3x to left hand side and change it's sign
Similarly, move 8 to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex] \sf{ - x + 3x = 8}[/tex]
Collect like terms
⇒[tex] \sf{2x = 8}[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 2
⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{8}{2} }[/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex] \sf{x = 4}[/tex]
Hope I helped!
Best regards!!
