You work it backwards.

-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.

-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself. 
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.

-12 - 8       Subtract

-20

-2(3 + 1) - 2(3 + 3)     Simplify in the parentheses

-2(4) - 2(6)                 Multiply

Drag steps of the solution into order to solve for x in the equation 9(x + 3) = 108.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Given expression is,

9(x+3) = 108

In solving the equation the steps are as follows,

Step 1 : 9x + 27 = 108      ( By distributive property )

Step 2 : 9x = 81               ( Subtracting 108 on both sides )

Step 3 : x = 9                   ( Divide both sides by 9)

Hence, by the above explanation we can drag the steps of solution in correct order.
