120-(x+96)=24

To solve the equation \( 120 - (x + 96) = 24 \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the negative sign: \[ 120 - x - 96 = 24 \]

2. Combine like terms: \[ 120 - 96 = 24 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 24 - x = 24 \]

3. Subtract 24 from both sides: \[ -x = 0 \]

4. Multiply by -1: \[ x = 0 \]

So, the solution is \( x = 0 \).
