B Yes; -4 -8 is 12.
C No; -4 -8 is -12 and 3 x -12 is -36.
D No; -4 + 8 is 4, and 4 - 3 is 1.333.​

Answer: C
First you have to get rid of the 8 because it is a constant. -4-8=-12. Then, you multiply out the denominator to isolate the variable. This means -12*3=-36

Answer:

C No; -4 -8 is -12 and 3 x -12 is -36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

d /3  + 8= −4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1 /3 d + 8 = −4

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.

1 /3 d + 8 − 8 = −4 − 8

1 /3 d = −12

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3.

3*( 1 /3 d) = (3)*(−12)

d=−36
