three times rhe sum of twice a number, x, and eight is twenty-four

Answer 1

First, "twice a number, x" means to multiply x by 2:

2x

Then, "the sum of twice a number x and eight" can be written as :

2x + 8

"three times the sum" would be written as :

3 (2x + 8)

Lastly, "is twenty-four" can be represented as:

=24

If you combine the last two portions , you have the following equation:

3 (2x+ 8) = 24

This equation could be solved to fins the value of x as well.
