In that equation, #x=3#.

First, you would start off by setting all the constants on one side of the equation and the variables on the other side.

#24x-28x=2-7-7#

When you combine like terms, it will result in this simplification:

#-4x=-12#

Then divide both sides by #-4#.

#-4/-4x=-12/-4#

Once the division is complete, you should get #x=3# as your answer.
