To solve this equation, we first need to distribute the 3/7 to both terms inside the parentheses:
(3/7) x - (3/7) 24 = x
Now we can simplify the equation:
(3x/7) - (72/7) = x
Next, we can combine the x terms on one side of the equation:
(3x/7) - x = 72/7
Now we can find a common denominator to combine the x terms:
(3x - 7x) / 7 = 72/7
Simplify the x terms:
-4x/7 = 72/7
Now we can solve for x by multiplying both sides by 7:
-4x = 72
Divide by -4 to solve for x:
x = -18
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -18.
