What is - 3 (4x-8) = - 36

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

~Simplify

-12x = - 60

~Divide - 12 to both sides

-12x/-12 = - 60/-12

~Simplify

x = 5

Best of Luck!

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

x = 5
