See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The Product is the result of multiplication.

Therefore, the product of 24 and 6 is:

#24 xx 6 = 144#

The Quotient is the result of division.

Therefore, the quotient of 24 and 6 is:

#24 -: 6 = 24/6 = 4#

The Difference is the result of subtraction.

Therefore the difference of the above two numbers is:

#144 - 4 = 140#

And if this is added to 40 we get:

#140 + 40 = 180#

#x-(24/6)=40#; #x=44#

Explanation:

Since there is no distinct variable in the question, I put it in the place of "product." If this is not how the question is meant to be interpreted, please let me know.

#x-(24/6)=40#
#x-4=40#
#x=44#

plug it back in to check

#(44)-(24/6)=40#
#44-4=40#
#40=40#

Again, if this doesn't answer the question, please let me know
