1/4(8x + 12) = 10 - 2(x -2)
------------
Assuming you want to solve for x (you should say that):
1/4(8x + 12) = 10 - 2(x -2)
2x + 3 = 10 - 2x + 4
Add 2x
4x + 3 = 10 + 4
4x + 3 = 14
Subtract 3
Divide by 4

1/4(8x + 12) = 10 - 2(x -2)
:
2x + 3 = 10 - 2x + 4
:
4x = 11

check answer
:
1/4(8x + 12) = 10 - 2(x -2)
:
substitute for x
:
(1/4)(8 * 2.75 + 12) = 10 - 2(2.75 - 2)
:
(1/4)(22 + 12) = 10 -2(0.75)
:
(1/4)(34) = 10 - 1.5
:
8.5 = 8.5
