You do these first 2 steps because of distributive property. You would add -12x+24. If an answer is not provided you cannot simplify this any further. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Use Distributive Property.

Multiply 3 times -4x to equal -12x

Multiply 3 times (+8) to equal 24

-12x + 24 =

Subtract 24 from each side

-12x + 24 -24 = -24

Divide both sides by -12

-12x/-12 = -24/-12

x = 2
