Answer:

B. Subtracted x

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

b) She subtracted x from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: 3(x - 4) = x + 8

Step 2: 3x - 12 = x + 8

Step 3: 2x – 12 = 8

3(x - 4) = x + 8

3x - 12 = x + 8

- x        - x (here, she subtracted x from both sides)

2x - 12 = 8

Hope this helps!
