Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation
4x + 24 = 7x + 6
4x + 24 - 24 = 7x + 6 - 24
2) Simplify
* Subtract the numbers
4x = 7x - 18
3) Subtract 7x from both sides of the equation
4x = 7x - 18
4x - 7x = 7x - 18 - 7x
4) Simplify
*Combine like terms
-3x = 18
5) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
-3x = 18
-3x/-3=-18/-3
6) Simplify
*Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
*Divide the numbers
x=6
