24x-9x+72=144+4\left(3x+4\right)
Multiply -3 and 3 to get -9.
15x+72=144+4\left(3x+4\right)
Combine 24x and -9x to get 15x.
15x+72=144+12x+16
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3x+4.
15x+72=160+12x
Add 144 and 16 to get 160.
15x+72-12x=160
Subtract 12x from both sides.
3x+72=160
Combine 15x and -12x to get 3x.
3x=160-72
Subtract 72 from both sides.
3x=88
