distribute
6x + 24 = 0

subtract 24 from both sides
6x = -24

divide both sides by 6 to isolate x
x = -4

Answer: 6x + 24

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, the 6 "distributes" through the parenthses, which means that it multiplies by each of the terms inside.

So we have 6(x) + 6(4) which simplifies to 6x + 24.
