Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(4x-8) = -36
Divide each side by -3
-3/-3(4x-8) = -36 /-3
4x-8 = 12
Add 8 to each side
4x-8+8 = 12+8
4x = 20
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = 20/4
Steps to solve:
-3(4x - 8) = -36
~Distribute
(-3 * 4x) + (-3 * -8) = -36
~Simplify
-12x + 24 = -36
~Subtract 24 to both sides
-12x + 24 - 24 = -36 - 24
-12x = -60
~Divide -12 to both sides
-12x/-12 = -60/-12
Best of Luck!
