Explanation

Choice D is correct. It's given that 3x-8=7. Adding 8 to both sides of this equation yields 3x=15. Adding 8 to both sides of this equation yields 3x+8=23. Therefore, the value of 3x+8 is 23.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of x, not 3x+8.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
