Answer:
x =6
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to solve for the variable, so you have to isolate it on to one side of the equation. You can do this by doing reverse operations. For example, the reverse operation of addition is subtraction. This is reversible as well.
4x = 24
Because 4x is the same thing 4 (x), the reverse operation would be division:
4x = 24
