In that equation, $x = 3$ $x=3$ .

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

$24 x - 28 x = 2 - 7 - 7$ $24x-28x=2-7-7$

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

$- 4 x = - 12$ $-4x=-12$

Then divide both sides by $- 4$ $-4$ .

$- \frac{4}{- 4} x = - \frac{12}{- 4}$ $-4/-4x=-12/-4$

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