Question 147329


{{{24x+5=12x+41}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{24x=12x+41-5}}} Subtract {{{5}}} from both sides.



{{{24x-12x=41-5}}} Subtract {{{12x}}} from both sides.



{{{12x=41-5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{12x=36}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(36)/(12)}}} Divide both sides by {{{12}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3}}} Reduce.
