If you follow the order of operations in algebra. I was going to do that but I was also hoping for a simpler answer.

or 8+8x, if x is a parameter but 4x2=8x would be a very unusual manner of writing, well at least you can leave the multiplication sign out
or is there still a trick we don't think about?

The answer seems to be 16. But if there is some trick to it, I don't see it.

it's definately 16, X over rules + so

you have to calculate first 4x2 and then +4+4
