Simplifying is the same as solving this question. I'll give steps instead.

x - 8 + 3x + 8

x + 3x - 8 + 8 (Arrange the equation)

(x + 3x) (- 8 + 8) (Parentheses the like terms together)

(4x) (0) (Solve)

4x (Simplified)

Cheers!

Answer:

4x

Explanation:

the -8 and +8 cancel out

x and 3x are both positive so add them

you're left with 4x
