Solve the equation for x.

8 (4x + 8) = 160

A) 3

B) 7

C) 12

D) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

8 (4x + 8) = 160 ... distribute the 8 thru the parenthesis

8 (4x) + 8 (8) = 160

32x + 64 = 160 ... subtract 64 from both sides

32x + 64 - 64 = 160 - 64

32x = 96

x = 96/32

x = 3 <===

The answer to this question is A) 3
