The value of x in the equation is 6
First, you have to distribute 1/3 into 12x and 24 to get 4x and 8
then you add 8 to both sides of the equation
then you divide 24/4 to get 6

Hi Tajmnaball10

12x - 24 over 3 = 16
12x - 24 = 16 x 3
12x - 24 = 48
12x = 48 + 24
12x = 72
x = 72/12
x = 6

Answer: x = 6
