$x = 10$ $color(red)(x = 10$

$4 x + 8 = 48$ $4x + 8 = 48$

Subtract 8 from each side, giving;

$4 x + 8 - 8 = 48 - 8$ $4x + 8color(red)(-8) = 48 color(red)(-8)$

$4 x = 40$ $4x = 40$

Divide by 4 from each side, giving;

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{40}{4}$ $(4x)/color(red)4 = 40/color(red)4$

$x = 10$ $x = 10$

$C h e c k;$ $color(blue)(Check;$
$= 4 (10) + 8$ $= 4(10) + 8$
$= 40 + 8$ $= 40 + 8$
$= 48$ $= 48$
