    Answer:

    3(12x – 24) = 16 (use the distributive property)

    36x – 72 = 16  (add 72 to both sides to get the x-term alone)

    36x = 88 (divide both sides by 36 to isolate x)

    x = 2.4 (the four is repeating. that’s the exact answer.)

    I would say the answer is A because 2.4 is close to 2 than any of the other answers.

    I hope this helps :))
