1. distribute and combine like terms:
12x+24 = 17 + 7x
2. bring all x's to one side
12x + 24 = 17 + 7x
-7x - 24 = -24 - 7x
3. solve
5x = 7
4. divide both sides by 5.
x = 7/5

4(3x+6)=12+3x+5+4x
4*3x + 4*6 = 12 + 3x + 5 + 4x Distribute.
12x + 24 = 12 + 3x + 5 + 4x Simplify.
12x + 24 = 7x + 17 Combine Like terms.
12x + 24 - 7x = 7x + 17 -7x Subtract 7x from both sides.
5x + 24 = 17 Simplify.
5x + 24 - 24 = 17 - 24 Subtract 24 from both sides.
5x = -7 Simplify.
5x/5 = -7/5 Divide both sides by 5
x = -7/5 or -1.4

Algebra in 4th grade? I am not quite sure, but I think I was still finger painting and eating crayons when I was in 4th grade. Seriously, never heard of algebra at such a young age.

4(3x+6)=12+3x+5+4x
12x + 24 = 17 + 7x
12x - 7x = 17 - 24
5x = -7
x = -7/5
x = -1 2/5 or -1.4

12x + 24 = 17 + 7x
5x = - 7
x = - 7 / 5

distribute
12x +24 = 12 +3x + 5 +4x
all x's on one side, whole numbers on the other
5x = -7
x = -7/5
um im addressing the person who asked this question (the additional details):
i'm pretty sure that my answer is right and that x does not equal 1
and though we al know that 24 is 24, i do not see why it is relevant for this problem.
