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 :))
