Answer: x = 2

Explanation:

Given

(1/4) (8x + 12) - 4x = -1

Expand parentheses

(1/4) (8x) + (1/4) (12) - 4x = -1

2x + 3 - 4x = -1

Combine like terms

-2x + 3 = -1

Subtract 3 on both sides

-2x + 3 - 3 = -1 - 3

-2x = -4

Divide -2 on both sides

-2x / -2 = -4 / -2

x = 2

Hope this helps!! :)
