Hi there! To solve this problem, first, we need to combine like terms. When you do, you should get 7x - 8 = 8 + 3x. Now, subtract 3x from both sides to get the whole number on the right by itself. When you do, you get 4x - 8 = 8. Now, add 8 to both sides to get 4x on its side alone and you get 4x = 16. Now, divide each side by 4 to isolate the “x”. 16/4 is 4. There. x = 4.
