Question 209558: (x+24)/2-6=x
Answer by kensson(21)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The final goal is to get all of the xs together alone on the same side.
The ugliest thing here is the fraction, so start by doubling everything:
(x+24) - 12 = 2x
Running the numbers together and moving the x across, we get:
12 = x.
Last up, check it works: (12 + 24) / 2 - 6 = 36/2 - 6 = 18 - 6 = 12, so we're happy it's correct.
