Solve for x.

-24=6+-3x

1 answer

To solve for x, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:
-24 = 6 + (-3x)

Combine like terms:
-24 = 6 - 3x

Next, subtract 6 from both sides to isolate -3x:
-24 - 6 = 6 - 6 - 3x
-30 = -3x

To get x alone, divide both sides by -3:
-30 / -3 = -3x / -3
10 = x

Therefore, x = 10.
