24x-\left(x-6\right)\times 4=24
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -6,6 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right), the least common multiple of x^{2}-36,x+6.
24x-\left(4x-24\right)=24
Use the distributive property to multiply x-6 by 4.
24x-4x+24=24
To find the opposite of 4x-24, find the opposite of each term.
20x+24=24
Combine 24x and -4x to get 20x.
20x=24-24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
20x=0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 20 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
