Question 490063
By answer you must mean - "How do I simplify this?"
{{{ (1/4)*(12x - 8) =  (1/4)*12x - (1/4)*8 }}}
{{{ 3x - 2 }}}
You can always check anything like this by plugging in
whatever number you want for {{{x}}}, like {{{ x = 11}}}
{{{ (1/4)*(12*11 - 8) =  (1/4)*(132 - 8) }}}
{{{ (1/4)*124 = 31 }}}
and,
{{{ 3*11 - 2 = 31 }}}
OK
