Answer:

[tex]x=-6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5x+8+3x+4=-40+4[/tex]

⇒ Subtract 4 from both sides:

[tex]5x+8+3x+4-4=-40+4-4[/tex]

[tex]5x+8+3x=-40[/tex]

⇒ Combine like terms:

[tex]5x+3x=8x[/tex]

[tex]8x+8=-40[/tex]

⇒ Subtract 8 from both sides:

[tex]8x+8-8=-40-8[/tex]

[tex]8x=-48[/tex]

⇒ Divide both sides by 8:

[tex]\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{-48}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x=-6[/tex]
