Answer:

X= 6

Explanation:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.) Simplify both sides of the equation

2x − 6x = −24

2x + −6x = −24

Then, Combine Like Terms

(2x+ −6x) = −24

−4x = −24

−4x = −24

2.) Divide both sides by -4

−4x /−4 = −24 /−4

Which then gets you x = 6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good Luck.
