Five times a number is 24 more than twice the number? How do I right this problem? 5 * y +2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

need one variable only.

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

well lets let the number = x 5 times a number = 5x this is 24 more than twice that number 5x = 2x + 24 and solve for 'x'...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I start with the variable for 5x instead of x. So twice is 2x + 24, okay I think I am catching on to the word problem. Thank you, to all!!!
