The answer is D.

The first step is to use the distributive property and turn 5(x-4) into 5x - 20.
You then move the twenty into the right equation by adding 20 to both sides. The final step is to move the 3x into the left equation by subtraction and then dividing both sides by 2 to isolate x. Hope this helped !!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-4) = 3x + 4

5x-20 = 3x + 4

5x-3x-20= 4

2x=4 +20

2x=24

x=12

check answer by inserting 12 for x into original equation.

5(12-4) = 3(12) +4

5(8) = 36 +4

40 = 40

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf x = 8a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \frac{3}{a} x - 4 = 20\\\\Add \ 4 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\\frac{3}{a} x = 20+4\\\\\frac{3}{a} x = 24\\\\Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ a\\\\3x = 24 * a\\\\Divide \ 3 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\x = 24a / 3\\\\x = 8a\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$
