In this problem we are solving for the variable, which is x.

3x+6=24
First we have to subtract 6 from both sides. (Remember: Anything done on one side of the equation must also be done on the opposite side.)

3x=18
Lastly, we have to get x alone and since 3 is being multiplied by x, we must divide both sides by 3.

x=6

X is equal to 6 because 3*6 is 18+6 is 24 so when ever you see a variable next to a number you will need to multiply them together and do what ever expression that comes next in pemdas
