Verified Answer :

so first u need to get the variables separate from the constants so add 8 to both sides. then u get 4x = 4 then u can divide each side by 4 to get x alone. 
so the answer  is 
x = 1

If you would like to solve the equation 4 x - 8 = - 4 for x, you can calculate this using the following steps:

4
x - 8 = - 4
4 x = - 4 + 8
4
x = 4    /4
x = 4 / 4
x = 1

The correct result is 1.
