⅔ of 24 = ⅔ × 24 = 48/3 = 16
24-3x=2x-1
+3x. +3x
24=5x-1
+1. +1
25=5x
X=5
Answer:
x = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
The work shown is almost complete. It can be finished by multiplying both sides of the equation by the inverse of the coefficient of x.
x-coefficient: -1/3
inverse of x-coefficient = 1/(-1/3) = -3
Then you have ...

16 x 10 x 12 = 1,920
The jewelry store received 1,920 rings
