Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

(given) -3(4x - 8) = -36

(distribute) -12x + 24 = -36

(subtract 24 from both sides) -12x = -60

(divide both sides by -12) x = 5

Answer:

[tex] - 3(4x - 8) = - 36 \\ 4x - 8 = \frac{ - 36}{ - 3} \\ 4x - 8 = 12 \\ 4x = 12 + 8 \\ 4x = 20 \\ x = 20 \div 4 \\ x = 5[/tex]
