x=5

Explanation:

Given, 24 = x+x+2x-3+2x-3

Add all x terms and number terms at Right hand side

24 = 6x-6
Now keep the x term on one side and number terms on other side. remember, when you move a term to the other side it sign changes.

24+6 = 6x

or, 30 = 6x

or 30/6 = x

or, cancel30^5/cancel6^1=x

or x=5
