Work on the equation to get all the x terms on the left side, everything else on the right.
8x%2B12=44%2B4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
%288x-4x%29%2B12=44%2B%284x-4x%29
4x%2B12=44%2B0
4x%2B12=44
Subtract 12 from both sides.
4x%2B12-12=44-12
4x%2B0=32
4x=32
Divide both sides by 4.
4x%2F4=32%2F4
%284%2F4%29x=8
1x=8
highlight%28x=8%29
