Answer:-12x+24


Step-by-step explanation:Since an answer was not provided to solve the equation you can only simplify it. You would multiply 3 by -4x to get -12x. You would then multiply 3 by 8 to get 24. 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:

Use Distributive Property.

Explanation:

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
