Solve the equation. Don't forget to first simplify each side of the equation, if possible.
-6x = 8(3x + 8)
A) $\frac { 32 } { 3 }$
B) $- \frac { 32 } { 9 }$
C) $\frac { 32 } { 9 }$
D) $\frac { 9 } { 32 }$

First, distribute the 8 on the right side: 6x = 24x + 64. Then, subtract 24x from both sides: 6x - 24x = 64, which simplifies to -18x = 64. Finally, divide both sides by -18 to solve for x: x = -64/18, which simplifies to -32/9.
