Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{\boxed{ \sf{x = 4}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{ - 8 - x = x - 4x}$

Collect like terms

⇒$\sf{ - 8 - x = - 3x}$

Move 3x to left hand side and change it's sign

Similarly, move 8 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒$\sf{ - x + 3x = 8}$

Collect like terms

⇒$\sf{2x = 8}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

⇒$\sf{ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{8}{2} }$

Calculate

⇒$\sf{x = 4}$

Hope I helped!
