We have the next expression


3(4-2x)=-x+1

First, we must expand the left part of the equality


12-6x=-x+1

Then, we must leave on one side the terms that contain x and on the other side the independent terms


-6x+x=1-12

Now, we must reduce the expressions on each side


-5x=-11

Finally, we must divide by -5 each side


\begin{gathered} x=(-11)/(-5) \\ x=(11)/(5) \end{gathered}

So, the answer is letter D.
