The correct answer is B: 2(x+3)=8.
To solve the equation for x, we can distribute the 2 on the left side:
2x + 6 = 8
Then we can subtract 6 from both sides:
2x = 2
Lastly, divide both sides by 2:
x = 1
Therefore, the value of x is 1. The correct answer is C: 1.

Plug in 1 into the equation to see if your answer is correct.
If we plug in x = 1 into the equation 2(x+3) = 8:
2(1+3) = 8
2(4) = 8
8 = 8
The equation is satisfied, which confirms that our answer is correct.
2(1+3) = 8
2(4) = 8
8 = 8
The equation is satisfied, which confirms that our answer is correct.
