Question

Drag each equation to show if it could be a correct first step to solving the equation 3(6 + x) = 24.

Answer 1

Use the distributive property.

3(6 + x) = 24
18 + 3x = 24
3x = 6
x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (6 + x) = 24

3 * 6 + 3*x =24

So then 18 + 3x = 24  

Move 18 under to 24

Do 24-18

Then you get 6

6/3

Then, X=2
