7x^{2}-4x^{2}-4x-8=3x^{2}+4x-8
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by x^{2}+x+2.
3x^{2}-4x-8=3x^{2}+4x-8
Combine 7x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get 3x^{2}.
3x^{2}-4x-8-3x^{2}=4x-8
Subtract 3x^{2} from both sides.
-4x-8=4x-8
Combine 3x^{2} and -3x^{2} to get 0.
-4x-8-4x=-8
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-8x-8=-8
Combine -4x and -4x to get -8x.
-8x=-8+8
Add 8 to both sides.
-8x=0
Add -8 and 8 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -8 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
