Answer 2

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : -8x - (8x) = -48

We have to solve for x and choose the correct option from the given options.

Consider the given equation -8x - (8x) = -48

Open brackets by applying plus minus rule,$-(a)=-a$

we have,

- 8x - 8x = -48

adding terms, we have,

- 16x = - 48

Divide both side by -16, we have,

x = 3

Thus, x = 3

Option (d) is correct.
