Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 4 from both sides

To isolate \( x \) in the equation \( x + 4 = 8 \), we subtract 4 from both sides. The equation becomes \( x + 4 - 4 = 8 - 4 \).

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying the left side: \( x + (4 - 4) = x \). Simplifying the right side: \( 8 - 4 = 4 \). So the equation is \( x = 4 \).

Answer:

After subtracting 4 from each side, the equation is \( x + 4 - 4 = 8 - 4 \), and when rewritten to solve for \( x \), we get \( x = 4 \).
