    B. x = - 1 or x = 4 1/3.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2|3x - 5| - 8 = 8

    2|3x - 5| = 16

    |3x - 5| = 8

    The expression in the vertical lines can be positive or negative so we have 2 equations:

    3x - 5 = 8 and 3x - 5 = - 8

    3x - 5 = 8

    3x = 13

    x = 13/3 or 4 1/3

    3x - 5 = - 8

    3x = - 8 + 5 = - 3

    x = - 1.
