At a wedding reception, an equal number of guests were seated at each of 12 large tables, and 8 members of the wedding party were seated at the main table. The total number of people at the reception, including the bride and groom, was 128. If n represents the number of people seated at each of the large tables, what equation
12n + 8 = 128
