Answer:

Addition POE

Explanation:

I believe it is the addition POE because

12x-4=44

To get 4 (the constant) to the right you have to do the inverse of subtraction which is addition. By doing so You would add 4 to both side, canceling it out on the left side and adding the 4 to the right side (44).

12x-4=44

+4 +4

12x=48

12/12=48/12

x=4
