#x = 2#

We have: #8 (3 x - 4) - 12 = 4#

First, let's add #12# to both sides of the equation:

#=> 8 (3 x - 4) = 16#

Then, let's divide both sides by #8#:

#=> 3 x - 4 = 2#

Now, let's add #4# to both sides:

#=> 3 x = 6#

Finally, to solve for #x#, let's divide both sides by #3#:

#=> x = 2#

Therefore, the solution to the equation is #x = 2#.
