Better quality would help, have a good day/night
So basically when you are adding or subtracting fractions the denominators the number on the bottom of the fraction 12 in this case and 8 as well the two denominators sharing the least common multiple so what is the lowest multiple of 12 and 8 so count off 12: 12, 24, 36... 8: 8, 16 , 24 does that help?
ANSWER
x = 1.2226
EXPLANATION
To solve this equation we have to apply the property of the logarithm of the base,

Thus, we can apply the natural logarithm - whose base is e, to both sides of the equation,

Now we apply the property of the logarithm of a power,

In our equation,

Then divide both sides by 4 and solve,

The solution to this equation is x = 1.2226, rounded to four decimal places.
