Steps to solve:
24(x - 1) = -6(4 - x) + 18
~Distribute
(24 * x) + (24 * -1) = (-6 * 4) + (-6 * -x) + 18
~Simplify
24x - 24 = -24 + 6x + 18
~Combine like terms
24x - 24 = -6 + 6x
~Add 24 to both sides
24x - 24 + 24 = -6 + 24 + 6x
~Simplify
24x = 18 + 6x
~Subtract 6 to both sides
24x - 6x = 18 + 6x - 6x
~Simplify
18x = 18
~Divide 18 to both sides
18x/18 = 18/18
~Simplify
x = 1
Best of Luck!
Answer:
[tex]x = 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]24(x - 1) = - 6(4 - x) + 18 \\ 24x - 24 = - 24 + 6x + 18 \\ 24x - 6x = 24 - 24 + 18 \\ 18x = 18 \\ \frac{18x}{18} = \frac{18}{18} \\ x = 1[/tex]
hope this helps
