Answer:
The equation is given below as
[tex]3x+24=7x+3[/tex]Step 1:
Collect similar terms
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x+24=7x+3 \\ 3x-7x=3-24 \\ -4x=-21 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2:
Divide both sides by -4
[tex]\begin{gathered} -4x=-21 \\ \frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-21}{-4} \\ x=\frac{21}{4} \\ x=5\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
The final answer is x = 21/4 ( improper fraction)
x = 5.25 ( decimal)
