To solve for x, we can follow these steps:
1. Distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:
12x + 8 + 3 = 35
2. Combine like terms:
12x + 11 = 35
3. Move the constant term to the other side of the equation by subtracting 11 from both sides:
12x = 35 - 11
12x = 24
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 12 to solve for x:
x = 24/12
x = 2
So the solution is x = 2.
