#x=-28#

Explanation:

First, we can rewrite it as #(x+4)-:3#
Then, we can shift the '#-:3#' to the other side of the equation, causing it to change from a divide to a multiply
#x+4=-8xx3#
#x+4=-24#
After that, we shift the #+4# to the other side as well, changing it from a positive number to a negative number
#x=-24-4#
#x=-28#
