Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

6(-x - 3) = 24

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Divide 6 on both sides:                    -x - 3 = 4
  2. Add 3 on both sides:                        -x = 7
  3. Divide -1 on both sides:                    x = -7

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

  1. Substitute in x:                    6(-(-7) - 3) = 24
  2. Multiply:                               6(7 - 3) = 24
  3. Subtract:                              6(4) = 24
  4. Multiply:                               24 = 24

Here we see that 24 does indeed equal 24.

∴ x = -7 is the solution to the equation.
