The aim is to get the x on the left by itself.

first you need to get rid of the +24 you can do that by taking it away but you must take it away from both sides to keep the eqation balanced.

Next you will need to get rid of the divide by 7 you do that by multiplying by 7  (both sides to keep the balance)

Then you will be finished.

You try it and show me your answer and working.  If you need more help I will give it.

          YOUR EQUATION SCALES MUST ALWAYS BE BALANCED.

so we would solve this like

$$x/7 + 24 = 26$$ (now out here first we will take 24 to the other side and subtract it from 26)

$$x/7 = 26-24$$  (and now simply subtract them)

$$x/7=2$$  ( and now we will bring 7 to the other side and then multiply it by 2 which will then give us our x)

$$x=2*7$$ (and now we will simply multiply them both to get our x)

$$x=14$$  

$$ANSWER$$ 

I hope u've understood by now but if not then pls be free to ask!

I hope this helps!
