The answer would be three. Since you need to get x alone on the left you would divide it by 8. And since whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other, you would also need to divide 24 by 8. The answer to that would be 3.
8x=24
8x/8=24/8
x=24/8
x=3

8x = 5x+24 8x-5x = 24 3x = 24 x = 8
-8x ----- 8
8 times 3 plus 32 equals 56. 8x + 32 = 56 8x + 32 - 32 = 56 - 32 8x = 24 8x / 8 = 24 / 8 x = 3
12y = 8x + 24 so y = 2x/3 + 2
x = 8
