2\left(-x\right)+8+3x=-x+3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by -x+4.
2\left(-x\right)+8+3x+x=3x
Add x to both sides.
2\left(-x\right)+8+4x=3x
Combine 3x and x to get 4x.
2\left(-x\right)+8+4x-3x=0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2\left(-x\right)+8+x=0
Combine 4x and -3x to get x.
2\left(-x\right)+x=-8
Subtract 8 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-2x+x=-8
Multiply 2 and -1 to get -2.
-x=-8
Combine -2x and x to get -x.
x=8
