To simplify the expression \( 4x + 8x \) using the properties of operations, you can combine like terms. Both terms contain the variable \( x \).

Here's how to do it step-by-step:

1. Identify the coefficients: The coefficients are 4 and 8.
2. Add the coefficients together: \( 4 + 8 = 12 \).
3. Multiply the sum of the coefficients by the variable \( x \): \( 12x \).

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[
12x
\]
