    x = 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

    3x-8 (x-8) = 24

    3x + (-8) (x) + (-8) (-8) = 24 (Distribute)

    3x+-8x+64 = 24

    (3x+-8x) + (64) = 24 (Combine Like Terms)

    -5x+64 = 24

    -5x+64 = 24

    Step 2: Subtract 64 from both sides.

    -5x+64-64 = 24-64

    -5x = - 40

    Step 3: Divide both sides by - 5.

    -5x - x

    = - 5

    = - 40 / -5

    x = 8
