24-3x-273x=27+(-24)3x=3x=1
3x=24 x=8
The answer is dividing. 3x=24 3x/3=24/3 x = 8
3x - 24 = 3Add 24 to each side of the equation:3x = 27Divide each side by 3 :x = 9
Set up the equation and solve: -27 = 8x - 5x (next simplify by subtracting 5x from 8x)) -27 = 3x (next divide both sides of the equation by 3) -27/3 = 3x/3 (next simplify and solve) -9 = x
