Let's solve the equation step-by-step:

The given equation is:
[tex]\[ x - 12 = -4 \][/tex]

To isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex], we will add 12 to both sides of the equation. This is because we want to eliminate the [tex]\(-12\)[/tex] term on the left-hand side.

Adding 12 to both sides gives:
[tex]\[ x - 12 + 12 = -4 + 12 \][/tex]

Simplifying both sides, we get:
[tex]\[ x = 8 \][/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ x = 8 \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{8} \][/tex]
