Answer:

x= -3

Explanation:

first distribute 3 into the parenthesis

than it will result in 12x+24=-35+23. Than add -35+23

Than it will result in 12x+24=-12. Than subtract 24 from each sides.

This will result in 12x=-36. Than divide 12/-36 than you get -3 for x

Answer:

x = -3

Explanation:

3(4x + 8) = - 35+23​

Combine like terms

3(4x + 8) =-12

Divide by 3

3/3(4x + 8) = -12/3

4x+8 = -4

Subtract 8 from each side

4x+8-8 = -4-8

4x = -12

Divide by 4

4x/4 = -12/4

x = -3
