Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = the number of phone available

If it would require 8 more phones, then the total number of phones will be x + 8.

A company hired an additional 12 employees, and every employee needed a phone, then

x + 8 = 12

x = 4

This means 4 phones were available (and 8 more needed to total in 12 phones for 12 new employees)

Hence, correct option is option A.
