5x-m=x-24-x
To find the opposite of 24+x, find the opposite of each term.
5x-m=-24
Combine x and -x to get 0.
-m=-24-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-m=-5x-24
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-m}{-1}=\frac{-5x-24}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
m=\frac{-5x-24}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
m=5x+24
Divide -24-5x by -1.
5x-m=x-24-x
To find the opposite of 24+x, find the opposite of each term.
5x-m=-24
Combine x and -x to get 0.
5x=-24+m
Add m to both sides.
5x=m-24
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{m-24}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{m-24}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
