First you simplify both sides of the equation

8x/2=4x and 4/2=2 so 4x+2=3x-8     (3x-8 can't be simplified anymore)

Now you solve the equation

3x-8=4x+2

Subtract 2 from both sides

3x-10=4x

Subtract  3x from both sides

-10=x

So your answer is x=-10

3x - 8 = [tex]\frac{8x + 4}{2}[/tex]

multiply both side of the equation by 2


2(3x - 8) = 8x + 4

distribute the 2 to the whole parentheses

2 × 3x = 6x

2 × -8 = -16


6x - 16 = 8x + 4

subtract 4 on each side of the equation


6x - 20 = 8x

subtract 6x on both side of the equation


-20 = 2x

divide both side of the equation by 2


-10 = x


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
