STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the algebraic expression $3(x-8)-11x$.
. We need to simplify this expression and match it with one of the given options.

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the multiplication across the terms inside the parentheses.
$$(2x-8)-11x = \cdot2x - \cdot8 -11x$$

STEP 3

Now, calculate the multiplication.
$$3 \cdot2x -3 \cdot8 -11x =6x -24 -11x$$

STEP 4

Next, we combine like terms.
$$6x -24 -11x = (6x -11x) -24$$

Calculate the subtraction.
$$(x -11x) -24 = -5x -24$$So, the algebraic expression $3(2x-8)-11x$ simplifies to $-5x -24$.
Comparing this with the given options, we see that it matches with option A.
So, the correct answer is A $-5x -24$.
