the equation would be written:
24-10x=64+8x
to solve the equation, you combine like terms by moving the numbers to the other side
8x would move to the left side, leaving you with -8x-10x
24 would be moved to the right side, leaving you with 64-24
combine them and you get -18x=40
finally, you divide, making
[tex] - \frac{18}{40} [/tex]
the last step is to put it at its simplest form. so your final answer would be:
[tex] - \frac{9}{20} [/tex]
