ANSWER

D) x = 8

Step-by-step explanation

To find the value of x that makes the equation true, we have to solve the equation for x,


2(x-4)=x

To do so, apply the distributive property to eliminate the parenthesis,


2x-8=x

Then, subtract x from both sides,


\begin{gathered} 2x-x-8=x-x \\ \\ x-8=0 \end{gathered}

And add 8 to both sides,


\begin{gathered} x-8+8=0+8 \\ x=8 \end{gathered}

Hence, the value of x that makes the equation true is 8.
