Answer:

The equation is given below as


3x+24=7x+3

Step 1:

Collect similar terms


\begin{gathered} 3x+24=7x+3 \\ 3x-7x=3-24 \\ -4x=-21 \end{gathered}

Step 2:

Divide both sides by -4


\begin{gathered} -4x=-21 \\ (-4x)/(-4)=(-21)/(-4) \\ x=(21)/(4) \\ x=5(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

Hence,

The final answer is x = 21/4 ( improper fraction)

x = 5.25 ( decimal)
