I am assuming you know how to distribute and solve for an equation, here is the steps to complete this:
7+%285x%2B8%29=12-%28x%2B4%29
35x+%2B+56+=+12+-+x+-+4
36x+=+-+48
x+=+-48%2F36
x+=+-4%2F3
I hope this helps, the distribution process means multiplying 7 to both 5x and 8, do the same thing with the negative on the right side of the equation.
