-5x + 24 = x so -5x + 6x = x; 6x = 24; x = 24/6; x = 4;
If you are trying to figure out what X is then this may help
-5x+24=X you can try to add like terms now, but remember when you move the five to the othe side of the = it changes from negative to positive, so now you have 24= X +5x which turns into 24=6x then to get X alone on that side you will divide by the number beside it(6) on both sides so 24 divided by 6 = x6 divided by six and the answer will be 4=X so X is 4.
If all those words got confusing (I get confused when math problems are over explaned :/ ) this is what I meant (but without a looong answer)
-5x+24=x move -5x then 24=6x divide by six on both side the x=4.
The 7x and the 5x are like terms. This means that you can add them up. Think about it, 7 x's plus 5x's equals 12x's. From there, you can divide 12 from both sides of the equation, and you will get that x = 2.
x2-5x = 24 x2-5x-24 = 0 (x-8)(x+3) = 0 x = 8 or x -3
3x+5x-2x = 24 6x = 24 x = 4
x=8
3x+11+5x=75(add 5x and 3x) 8x+11=75(-11) 8x=64(/ 8) x=8(ANSWER)
8x = 5x+24 8x-5x = 24 3x = 24 x = 8
5x+3+x=24 6x+3=24 6x=21 x=3.5
3x = 24, x = 8
-5x + 6y = 24 6y = 5x + 24 y = 5/6 x + 4 the slope is 5 6
7X = -5X + 24 add 5X to each side 12X = 24 divide both sides by 12 X = 2 check 7(2) =-5(2) + 24 14 = 14

x equals subtract 11 divided by 3
32-5x=3x+8 32-5x-8=3x+8-8 24-5x=3x 24-5x+5x=3x+5x 24=8x x=24/8=3
5X + 9 5(3) + 9 15 + 9 = 24 ====
x=6
If: x+9+5x = 21+2x Then: x = 3
5x + x - 6x + 2x = 2x
