Answer: A. 12. x=12 and 12=x. *The answer should be the positive sign.*

Explanation:

a/c=b/c for c≠0

multiplication property of equality is multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number does not change the equation.

divide by 2 both sides of an equation.

2x/2=24/2

simplify by equation.

24/2=12

12*2=24

24/12=2

x=12

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
