The answer will be
#x = 4#

Explanation:

Explanation:
First, we will take the #+4# to the RHS. As it is positive, sending to RHS will make it negative.Therefore

#3x= -8-4#
#3x=-12#

Now we will send 3 to the RHS. As 3 is in multiply, sending it to RHS will make it a divisor.

#x=-12/3#

Hence

#x=4#
