Hey Math Kitty! <3
Your answer is x = -1/4
To solve, find the value of x in 12+24x=6.
Start by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation to isolate x.
12-12 + 24x = 6-12
24x = - 6
Next, divide both sides by 24.
24/24x = -6/24
x = -6/24
Now, simplify.
x = -1/4.
To check if this is correct, plug the value of x into the original equation and solve.
12 + 24x = 6 ⇒ 12 + 24(-1/4) = 6
Now, solve.
12 + 24(-1/4) = 6
12 + -6 = 6
6 = 6
So, the solution is correct, I hope this helps and have a great day!
