The correct answer is b. 14(m-8).
This is because it says that the weight of the boxes drew lifted were 8 pounds less than what marco lifted. This can be represented by m-8. You then need to multiply this by the amount of boxes that drew lifted, or 14.
to solve this we need to isolate the x variable.
subtract 1 from each side: [3x+4] = 6
now we can drop the parentheses and subtract 4 from each side: 3x = 2
divide each side by 3: x = 2/3
