Answer:

C. -9x-3

Explanation:

Use distribuitve property.

DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY

A(B+C)=AB+AC

A(B-C)=AB-AC

-3x-6x-8+5 ← (Group like terms & combine like terms.)

-3x-6x=-9x ← (Add and subtract elements to the numbers from left to right.)

-9x-8+5

-9x-8+5 ← (Solve & simplify)

-8+5 ← (Add & subtract.)

-8+5=-3

= -9x-3


\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow -9x-3}}}

Therefore, the correct answer is (C.) -9x-3.
