Answer:
x=34.8
Step-by-step explanation:
First thing you gotta do is distribute the parenthesis.
2(x-3)= 2x-6
7(x+24)=7x+168
2x-6=7x+168
Next, we simplify our equation and subtract 6 from both sides, along with subtracting 7x from both sides.
2x-6=7x+168
+6 +6
2x=7x+174
-7x -7x
-5x=174
Our final step is to divide both sides by -5.

x=34.8
