Answer:
x = 24.52
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
24² + 5² = x²
576 + 25 = x²
601 = x²
√601 = x
Answer: 
============================================
Work Shown:

---------------
Explanation:
The idea is to first get all the y terms to one side. I did this by subtracting 2y from both sides in the third step.
Then factor out y and divide both sides by (8x-2)
Afterward there's the optional steps of simplifying (as shown in the final two steps).
Answer: x=20
all angles in the triangle are 180 degree, so:
2x+3x+4x=180
9x=180
divide both sides by 9
x= 20
The answer is zero, i think
