Answer: C. Distribute 3/4 over (x-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve any(technically most, but still...) algebraic equation you must isolate the variable. In this case, the first step would either be to divide both sides of the equation by 3/4, or distribute 3/4 to x and -8, as you cannot modify the contents of the parenthesis without removing the 3/4.
Hope it helps and lmk if you further explanation <3 :)
