The problem asks to find an elementary matrix \( E \) such that \( B = EA \), where the matrices \( A \) and \( B \) are given as:

\[
A = \begin{pmatrix} 
8 & 4 & 4 \\
0 & 2 & 8 \\
4 & 0 & 0 
\end{pmatrix}, 
\quad B = \begin{pmatrix} 
8 & 4 & 4 \\
4 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 2 & 8 
\end{pmatrix}
\]

### Approach:

Elementary matrices represent row operations, so \( E \) is the matrix that transforms matrix \( A \) into matrix \( B \) through row operations.

By comparing \( A \) and \( B \), we observe that the second and third rows of \( A \) have been swapped to form \( B \). Therefore, the elementary matrix \( E \) will be the one corresponding to a row swap operation between the second and third rows.

### Elementary matrix for row swap:

To swap the second and third rows, the elementary matrix \( E \) is:

\[
E = \begin{pmatrix} 
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 1 & 0 
\end{pmatrix}
\]

### Verification:

To verify, we multiply \( E \) by \( A \):

\[
EA = \begin{pmatrix} 
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 1 & 0 
\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 
8 & 4 & 4 \\
0 & 2 & 8 \\
4 & 0 & 0 
\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 
8 & 4 & 4 \\
4 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 2 & 8 
\end{pmatrix} = B
\]

Thus, \( E \) correctly transforms \( A \) into \( B \).
