Answer :

The value of given linear equation is 5.

What is a linear equation?

Linear equation refers to a equation that has highest degree = 1 and can be expressed in the form 'ax + b'.

Given: 4 times x + 12 gives 8

To find: 2 times x + 7

With the help of the details given in the question, we get the linear equation: 4x + 12 = 8

=> 4x = 8 - 12

=> 4x = -4

=> x = -1

Now, 2x + 7 =?

For x = -1, 2 (-1) + 7 = -2 + 7 = 5

Thus, the value of given linear equation is 5.
