4x_{3}=24-8x_{4}
Subtract 8x_{4} from both sides.
\frac{4x_{3}}{4}=\frac{24-8x_{4}}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x_{3}=\frac{24-8x_{4}}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
x_{3}=6-2x_{4}
Divide 24-8x_{4} by 4.
8x_{4}=24-4x_{3}
Subtract 4x_{3} from both sides.
\frac{8x_{4}}{8}=\frac{24-4x_{3}}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x_{4}=\frac{24-4x_{3}}{8}
Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.
x_{4}=-\frac{x_{3}}{2}+3
Divide 24-4x_{3} by 8.
