12 less triple the difference of x and 10 is 24.

Find the value of x.

The value of x is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

12 less triple the difference of x and 10 is 24.

So, according to question:

3 (x - 10) - 12 = 24

Adding '12' on both sides of the above equation, we get

3 (x - 10) - 12 + 12 = 24 + 12

⇒3 (x - 10) = 36

Dividing the above equation by '3', we get

3 (x - 10) : 3 = 36 : 3

⇒x - 10 = 12

Now, adding '10' on both sides of the above equation, we get

x - 10 + 10 = 12 + 10

⇒x = 22

So, the value of x is 22.
