Simplify each choice:
A: (1/6)(-3x - 24) = -(1/2)x - 4
B: (1/6)(-5x - 8) = -(5/6)x - 4/3
C: (1/6)(-10x - 4) = -(5/3)x - 2/3
D: (1/6)(-12x - 16) = -2x - 8/3
Only A has constant term -4, so when the given value (x = 0) is substituted the result is −4. Therefore the original expression could be (1/6)(-3x − 24).
