Answer:

6x - 2x = 24

4x = 24

4x ÷ 4 = 24÷4

x = 6

Explanation:

First of all subtract 2x from 6x which will give you 4x = 24

since you're finding x or want to make x the subject you are to divide both sides by 4, so

4x ÷ 4 will give you x, since both 4's will cancel out giving you x =, then you divide 24 by 4 also. 24 ÷ 4 will give you 6, so x = 6.

Very simple

Answer:

x=6

Explanation:

Basically since 6x and 2x have like terms you subtract the 2x from 6x.

6x-2x=4x

Then you divide 4 from 24.

4x=24

4x/4 = 24/4

x=6
