2\left(9+x\right)=x+24
Variable x cannot be equal to -24 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(x+24\right), the least common multiple of 24+x,2.
18+2x=x+24
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 9+x.
18+2x-x=24
Subtract x from both sides.
18+x=24
Combine 2x and -x to get x.
x=24-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
x=6
Subtract 18 from 24 to get 6.
