Answer 2

Given :

24-3(x-2)=x+18

To Find :

Solve for x

Solution:

Given equation :24-3(x-2)=x+18

Solve this equation:

$\Rightarrow 24-3(x-2)=x+18\\\Rightarrow 24-3x+6=x+18\\\Rightarrow 30-3x=x+18\\\Rightarrow 30-18=x+3x\\\Rightarrow 12 = 4x\\\Rightarrow \frac{12}{4} =x\\\Rightarrow 3=x$

Hence The value of x is 3
