Question

now, all of the variables are on the right. keep going. show that you can perform the same operation on both sides of the equation, and rewrite the equation to solve for the value of x. 24 - 4x = 8x + 4x + 4x 24 = 12x

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify left side

$24 - 4x + 4x = 24$

Step2: Simplify right side

$8x + 4x = 12x$

Step3: Isolate $x$ (divide by 12)

$\frac{24}{12} = \frac{12x}{12}$

Step4: Solve for $x$

$2 = x$

Answer:

Top box (left side result): $24$
Bottom box (solve for $x$): $2$
Final value of $x$: $x=2$
