Thanks Ed I appreciate your response. 
That's how I set up the equation with the exception of adding x to the right side. My set up included the following:
x+6=1/2*24
Q: why is x added to the right side?
.
Because the problem states that you must add 24 to the original number of computers and the original number is x
