Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 - Expand the brackets out:

-8(x-3)

-8 * x = -8x

-8 * -3 = 24 (two negatives make a positive)

-8x + 24 = -32

Step 2 - Add 8x to both sides:

-8x + 24 + 8x = -32 + 8x

24 = -32 + 8x

Step 3 - Add 32 to both sides:

24 + 32 = -32 + 32 + 8x

56 = 8x

Step 4 - Divide both sides by 8:

56 ÷ 8 = 8x ÷ 8

7 = x

∴ proved.
