1. **State the problem:** Evaluate the expression $\frac{x}{6} + 3$ when $x = -24$. 2. **Substitute the value:** Replace $x$ with $-24$ in the expression: $$\frac{-24}{6} + 3$$ 3. **Simplify the fraction:** $$\frac{-24}{6} = -4$$ 4. **Add the constant:** $$-4 + 3 = -1$$ 5. **Final answer:** The value of the expression when $x = -24$ is $-1$. --- 1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $2x - 5 = 5$ for $x$. 2. **Add 5 to both sides:** $$2x - 5 + 5 = 5 + 5$$ $$2x = 10$$ 3. **Divide both sides by 2:** $$x = \frac{10}{2}$$ $$x = 5$$ 4. **Final answer:** The solution to the equation is $x = 5$.
