Answer:

X= -7

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE EQUATIONS.

Explanation:

ALRIGHT!

1. 6*(-x)= -6x

2. 6*(-3)= -18

3. Now right in normal 24= -6x-18

4. Now keep the variables on one side and the numbers on the other and simplify it. And when keeping the variables on one side and the numbers on the other what ever you switch you must change it's expression. So if it's + you make it - and if it - you make it +. so 6x=-18-24= 6x=-42

5. Now simplify it. as a fraction. 6x = -42 = divide 6 on both sides now X= -7 6 6
