Ok the first thing you will do is move the log12 96 over to the other side by subtracting it.  It looks like this to do that:

imstuck · Answer

$$4 \log _{12}2 + \log _{12}x - \log _{12}96=0$$

imstuck · Answer

First the exponent rule, even though there's only one exponent, the 4 in the first term.  That moves like this, if you remember:

imstuck · Answer

$$\log _{12}(2)^{4}+\log _{12}x-\log _{12}96$$
