How do you move a variable from one side of the equal sign to the other??​

Do the opposite operation. For example

The equation 4x = 3x - 8
We need to remove one set of the X variables, so you do the opposite operation and subtract 3x from both sides (NOT THE -8!) and then you end up with X = -8
Hope I helped!
