Hi there! The answer is 0 solutions.
First we need to work out the parenthesis (for instance possible by using rainbow technique).
Now subtract 12.
Now we can see that the right side of the equation is always 8 smaller than the left side of the equation. Because the right is always smaller, this equation cannot be solved. Therefore there are no solutions to this equation. The answer is 0 solutions.

Check the picture below.
now, we know that the slanted legs are congruent, since it's an isosceles trapezoid, we also know that the bases are the parallel sides, so, the "altitude" or distance from those bases are the same length, for each of those triangles in the picture.
now, the bases are parallel, that means the altitude segment is perpendicular to the base, the longest side at the bottom, so, we end up with a right-triangle that has a Hypotenuse and a Leg, equal to the other triangle's.
thus, by the HL theorem for right triangles, both of those triangles are congruent, and if the triangles are congruent, all their sides are also, including the ones on the base.
