Answer:

[tex]x=7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-3x--3+8x-24=6x+7-5x[/tex]

Two negative signs equate to a positive sign, so we can write [tex]--3[/tex] as just [tex]3[/tex]:

[tex]-3x+3+8x-24=6x+7-5x[/tex]

Add up similar terms:

[tex]5x-21=x+7[/tex]

Add 21 to both sides:

[tex]5x-21+21=x+7+21[/tex]

[tex]5x=x+28[/tex]

Subtract x from both sides:

[tex]5x-x=x+28-x[/tex]

[tex]4x=28[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]\frac{4x}{x} =\frac{28}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=7[/tex]
