It's C. In order to be in standard form you have to have all your exponents in descending order. They don't all have to be there in order, the ones that are just have to go from highest to lowest.
Answer:
x= - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fractions. you should then get:
2x-4x=x+24
then get all the x terms to one side by subtracting by x on each side:
2x-4x-x=24
then simplify:
-3x=24
divide by -3 on each side:
x= - 8
