To solve the equation 12x + 40 = 304, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, let's subtract 40 from both sides of the equation:

12x + 40 - 40 = 304 - 40

This simplifies to:

12x = 264

Next, let's divide both sides of the equation by 12 to solve for x:

12x/12 = 264/12

x = 22

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 22.
