Answer:

x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

first collect all the like terms -28x + 24 = 120-20x

then move variables and constants to the correct side -28x + 20x = 120-24

collect like terms again -8x = 96

divide both side by -8 so -8x/-x n 96/-8 you get x=-12 bc -8 time -12 = 96

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms

[tex]-4x-24x+24 = 10(12-2x)\\-28x+24 = 10(12-2x)[/tex]

Then, use the distributive property on the right side

[tex]-28x + 24 = 120 - 20x[/tex]

Now, add 28x to both sides to get the Xs all together

[tex]24 = 120 + 8x[/tex]

Next, subtract 120 from both sides:

[tex]-96 = 8x[/tex]

divide both sides by 8:

[tex]-12 = x[/tex]

This means the answer is x = -12
