Question

24 - 10x = 9 (ignore---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------)

Answer 1

`\fbox{x=$(3)/(2)$}` or
`\fbox{x=1.5}`

Simplify Equation:

`24-10x=9`

`-10x+24=9`

Subtract 24 from both sides:

`-10x+24-24=9-24`

`-10x=-15`

Divide both sides by -10:

`(-10x)/(-10) =(-15)/(-10)`

`x=(3)/(2)` or
`x=1.5`
