SOLUTION:

She has 12 baseball cards initially.

She later bought four packs of cards, meaning each pack contains 'x' number of cards, making the total number of cards in the four packs to be 4x.

Then the total of all the cards sumed up to be 36.

The statement that captures this information is;

4x + 12 = 36
