or, x=14 (answer)

Answer 2

Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
To get x by itself, we need to get rid of everything around it.

Let’s start by adding 4 to both sides so it cancels out on the side x is on.
2x - 4 = 24
+4 +4
2x = 28

Now since x is multiplied by 2, we can divide both sides by two to cancel it out
2x = 28
/2 /2
x = 14
