Answer :
[tex]x=7[/tex]
1) In this expression, we'll need to distribute factor 2 over the terms within the parentheses.
2) So, let's distribute that (also known by the acronym FOIL).
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(x+7)-4=24 \\ 2x+14-4=24 \\ 2x+10=24 \\ 2x=24-10 \\ 2x=14 \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{14}{2} \\ x=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]3) Thus the answer is x=7
