24x + 4 + 2x = 3(10x - 1)

Simplify.

24x + 4 + 2x = 30x - 30

Add like terms.

(24x + 2x) + 4 = 30x - 30

Simplify.

26x + 4 = 30x - 30

Subtract 4 from both sides.

26x = 30x - 30 - 4

Then, subtract 30x from both sides.

26x - 30x = -30 - 4

Simplify.

-4x = -34

Divide both sides by -4.

x = 34/4

~Hope I helped!~
