Starting with the given equation:

3(4x-12) = 84

We can start solving for x by distributing the 3 on the left side of the equation:

12x - 36 = 84

Next, we can isolate the variable x by moving the constant term -36 to the right side:

12x = 84 + 36

Simplifying the right side:

12x = 120

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 12:

x = 120/12

Simplifying:

x = 10

Therefore, the solution is x = 10.

The correct option is C. x=10.
