the answer is a, -8. first you have to set up the equation -3x=24 split it down the middle, then you have to get rid of the x on one side, so you have to do the opposite, right now it’s saying -3*x, opposite of multiplication is division. so you take -3/-3 and you’re left with x, then you have to do the same to the other side, 24/-3 and you get -8. so x=-8
