Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
4 + 6x + -1x = 24 + x + -1x
Combine like terms: 6x + -1x = 5x
4 + 5x = 24 + x + -1x
Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
4 + 5x = 24 + 0
4 + 5x = 24
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 5x = 24 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 5x = 24 + -4
5x = 24 + -4
Combine like terms: 24 + -4 = 20
5x = 20
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 4
Simplifying
x = 4
