(x - 24) is 24 less than x, then multiply this quantity by 3: 3*(x-24) or 3x - 72
Let x = your number;( 3 x ) - 24The 3x portion represents three times a number, then you subtract (24 less) the 24.
3X-5 = 19 3X = 24 X=8
4
If: 3x+9 = 24 Then: 3x = 24-9 So: 3x = 15 => x = 15/3 The number is 5
24-3x-273x=27+(-24)3x=3x=1
24-3x=-27-3x=-24-273x=24+273x=51x=17
If: 8-1/3x = 16 Then: x = -1/24
3x+5<x+11 3x<6 x<2
3x-10
The answer is x < 0.5
x/3=x/8-10/1 find the common denominator which is 24 8x/24=3x/24-240/24 put the numirator in a equation 8x=3x-240 do 8x-5x 5x=-240 divide it by 5 x=-48
