Explanation:

(this probably won't help so sorry) this is how I would do it:

6x+24 =90

90-24=66

6x= 66

66/6 =11

x=11

The answer is correct but I think the second step is wrong.
If your trying to solve for x then first you have to subtract 24 from both sides (24 and 90) so the 24 cancels out and your left with 6x = 66. Then you divide 6 by both sides and the 6x/6 cancels out so you’ll be left with X = 66/6 and then you will get X = 11
