24\lambda -48=2\left(2x+24\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 3\lambda -6.
24\lambda -48=4x+48
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x+24.
4x+48=24\lambda -48
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
4x=24\lambda -48-48
Subtract 48 from both sides.
4x=24\lambda -96
Subtract 48 from -48 to get -96.
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{24\lambda -96}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{24\lambda -96}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
x=6\lambda -24
Divide -96+24\lambda by 4.
24\lambda -48=2\left(2x+24\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 3\lambda -6.
24\lambda -48=4x+48
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x+24.
24\lambda =4x+48+48
Add 48 to both sides.
24\lambda =4x+96
Add 48 and 48 to get 96.
\frac{24\lambda }{24}=\frac{4x+96}{24}
Divide both sides by 24.
\lambda =\frac{4x+96}{24}
Dividing by 24 undoes the multiplication by 24.
\lambda =\frac{x}{6}+4
Divide 96+4x by 24.
