Answer

$x= \frac{y}{12}$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow y=4x+8x$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow y=x(4+8)$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=x(12)$ Divide each side by $12$. $\Rightarrow \frac{y}{12}=\frac{x(12)}{12}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow \frac{y}{12}=x$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $x= \frac{y}{12}$.
