X=17
Distribute 2(x-5)
You are left with 2x-10=24
You then want to get 2x by itself so add 10 on both sides so that you get 2x=34
Isolate x completely by dividing by 2 on both sides which then leaves you with x=17
When converting English phrases into mathematical expressions/equations, we do things from left to right. That is why it's 4 - 20 instead of 20 - 4.
This rule is applied to division as well.
