Answer:

x+24=35

then collect like terms together, which means "x" terms in one side and numbers in one side:

x=35-(+24)

we need to change the signs when ever we change its place, like changing from one side to another

x=35-24

x=11. ✓

Answer:

X = 11

Explanation:

Simplifying

X + 24 = 35

Reorder the terms:

24 + X = 35

Solving

24 + X = 35

Solving for variable 'X'.

Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.

24 + -24 + X = 35 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0

0 + X = 35 + -24

X = 35 + -24

Combine like terms: 35 + -24 = 11

X = 11

Simplifying

X = 11
