To do solve this you must isolate x. First subtract 16 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 16 is being added to x, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.
x + (16 - 16) = 24 - 16
x = 8
Check:
8 + 16 = 24
24 = 24
Hope this helped!

(-4-(-7)) / (1-7) = (3) / (-6) = -1/2 = slope
Using this equation, f(3) = 23.
In order to find the value of f(3), we need to take the f(x) equation and put 3 everywhere we see x. Then we follow the order of operations to solve. So, let's start with the original.
f(x) = 2x^2 + 5sqrt(x - 2)
Now place 3 in for each x.
f(3) = 2(3)^2 + 5sqrt(3 - 2)
Now square the 3.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5 sqrt(3 - 2)
Do the subtraction inside of the parenthesis.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5sqrt(1)
Take the square root
f(3) = 2(9) + 5(1)
Multiply.
f(3) = 18 + 5
And add.
f(3) = 23
