In order to solve this, you have to get the x's on one side of the equation, and the numbers on the other side. First, combine all like terms on each side of the equation:
3x-4-5x=x+4+x =
-2x-4=2x+4
Next, subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:
-2x-2x-4=2x-2x+4 =
-4x-4=4
Next, add 4 to both sides of the equation:
-4x-4+4=4+4 =
-4x=8
Finally, divide both sides by -4. This will get x all by itself:
=
x = -2
FINAL ANSWER: x = -2
