Answer:
I would say D. There is no logical explanation for the final answer but there is for everything else.
For A: Makes sense because 3x-2 are in parenthesis outside a number so you can multiply.
For B: Makes sense because you are allowed to add/subtract like terms but in this case only subtracting would make sense, (which is what they did) since you want to get all the like terms on one side.
For C: Makes sense because you are trying to simplify the equation, and they are both like terms (they are both numbers that have no letter attached to them) and they are on the opposite side making them able to be simplified.
For D: No idea what the point is.

Mark me as brainlist
Step-by-step explanation:
P = Perimeter
L = Length
W = Width
Perimeter of rectangle = L + L + W + W
or P = 2L + 2W
You know:
P = 36 inches
L = 2W [length is(=) 2 times it's width]
W = ?
P = 2L + 2W
Substitute/plug in what you know, plug in 2W for L since L = 2W
36 = 2(2W) + 2W Simplify
36 = 4W + 2W
36 = 6W Divide 6 on both sides
6 = W Now that you know the width, you can find the length:
L = 2W
L = 2(6)
L = 12
L = 12 in
W = 6 in
PROOF
P = 2(12) + 2(6)
P = 24 + 12
P = 36
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4x+2=-5/8x-5
Add 5/8 x to each side
1/4x + 5/8 x+2=-5/8x + 5/8x-5
1/4x + 5/8x +2 = -5
Subtract 2 from each side
1/4x + 5/8x +2-2 = -5-2
1/4x + 5/8x = -7
Get a common denominator of 8
1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7
2/8x + 5/8x = -7
7/8x = -7
Multiply each side by 8/7
8/7 * 7/8x = -7*8/7
x = -8
