    x = 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -3 (4x-8) = - 36

    Divide each side by - 3

    -3/-3 (4x-8) = - 36 /-3

    4x-8 = 12

    Add 8 to each side

    4x-8+8 = 12+8

    4x = 20

    Divide each side by 4

    4x/4 = 20/4

    x = 5

    Steps to solve:

    -3 (4x - 8) = - 36

    ~Distribute

    (-3 * 4x) + (-3 * - 8) = - 36

    ~Simplify

    -12x + 24 = - 36

    ~Subtract 24 to both sides

    -12x + 24 - 24 = - 36 - 24

    ~Simplify

    -12x = - 60

    ~Divide - 12 to both sides

    -12x/-12 = - 60/-12

    ~Simplify

    x = 5

    Best of Luck!
