6x-24 = 12

what's next?

Answer 2

I'm really bad with algebra. I'm not sure what it is your wanting me to multiply.

Answer 3

we want to isolate x

so we want x all by itself

Answer 4

how do we do this

Answer 5

So I'd subtract all the numbers around it ??

Answer 6

kinda

more like add 24 to both sides (to undo the -24)

what do you get when you do this?

Answer 7

By adding 2. If we add 24 tonegitive 24.... It would be zero

Answer 8

no, we add 24 to both sides to get

6x-24 = 12

6x-24+24 = 12+24

6x = 36

what's next?

Answer 9

Subtracting by the left side?

Answer 10

I meant right side.

Answer 11

how do you undo multiplication?

Answer 12

Division.

Answer 13

so you divide both sides by 6

Answer 14

6x = 36

x = 36/6

x = 6

Answer 15

x is finally isolated and all by itself, so you're done
