x%2B6%28x-4%29=24-x Start with the given equation.


x%2B6x-24=24-x Distribute.


7x-24=24-x Combine like terms on the left side.


7x=24-x%2B24 Add 24 to both sides.


7x%2Bx=24%2B24 Add x to both sides.


8x=24%2B24 Combine like terms on the left side.


8x=48 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2848%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x.


x=6 Reduce.
