#x=2#

We can combine our right side like terms to get

#3x-4=-3x+8#

Next, let's get our variables on the left by adding #3x# to both sides. We now have

#6x-4=8#

Next, to get our constants on the right, we can add #4# to both sides to get

#6x=12#

Lastly, we can divide both sides by #6# to get

#x=2#

Hope this helps!
