Answer:

The missing number (x) is 12

3 times 12 is 36, 36-12 is 24

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x= 12

Explanation:

3x-12=24

add 12 on both sides to get 36

-12+12=0 and 12+24=36

making the equation 3x=36

then, divide 3 into both sides to cancel out 3 and get x

3/3=1 or x and 36/3=12x

so, x=12
