Answer: 7x-8 = 3x+4

Step-by-step explanation: In this case, I'm purposely going to solve for "x".

First you eliminate 3x by subtracting 3x and it looks like this: 3x

-3x

Leaving the equation like this 4x-8=4

Then you eliminate 8 by adding 8 and doing the same thing to the other side

Lastly the equation is going to look like this: 4x=12

Then you divide leaving x=3

The answer is x=3
