You have to isolate the "X"
1. Subtract 9 from both sides
2. Then divide both sides by 5

"x" can be any number (called a variable). you have to figure out which number it is, by multiplying it by 5 and then adding 9 to equal 24.
1. 5x+9 = 24 (subtract 9 from both sides)
2. 5x = 15 (divide both sides by 5)
3. x = 3

Basically this equation is asking, what do you multiply by 5, and then add 9 to, to get 24?
5(times what number?) + 9=24
To get the answer, first subtract 9 from 24.
24-9= 15
Now, we want to find what number, multiplied by 5, will equal 15. To get this, we flip it around by dividing 15 by 3.
15 / 3= 5
So you have your answer for x.

5x =24 - 9 = 15,
x = 3
Easy algebra if you don't sleep in class.

you multiply 5 by whatever x equals then add 9 to it.
The value of x is 3
