4x - 24 = 24 + 8x

what is the value of x

x = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 24 = 24 + 8x

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x - 24 = 24 + 8x-4x

-24 = 24 + 4x

Subtract 24 from each side

-24-24 = 24-24 + 4x

-48 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

-48/4 = 4x/4

-12 = x

Your answer is x=12

4x-24=24+8x

We move all terms to the left:

4x-24 - (24+8x) = 0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

4x - (8x+24) - 24=0

We get rid of parentheses

4x-8x-24-24=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-4x-48=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-4x=48

x=48/-4

x=-12
