To completely isolate the variable, we have to divide both sides of the equation by 6. x = 24 / 6 x = 4 Now, x is all by itself or "isolated". We can read the answer right from the equation. x equals 4. To review, isolating the variable means getting every term containing the variable on one side of the equation

In the context of an equation or inequality, it means to rearrange it so that only one variable is on one side of the equals (or unequal) sign and all other terms are on the other side.
