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

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

18 + 3x = 24

Step 2: Subtract 18 from both sides

3x = 6

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3

x = 2

Your first step would be to distribute/multiply the 3 to the parenthesis.

(3×6) + (3×x) = 24       ←    1st Step

Step-by-step explanation:

3(6+x) = 24

First step is expand the brackets by distributive property.

=> (3×6) + (3×x) = 24       ←    1st Step

Multiply

=> 18+3x = 24                  ←     2nd Step

Subtracting 18 to both sides

=> 3x = 6                          ←      3rd Step

Dividing both sides by 3

=> x = 2                             ←       4th step

definition: a circle is the  set of all points in a plane that are equidistant  from a given  point  called the center of the circle. we use the symbol ⊙ to represent a circle. the a line segment from the center of the circle to  any point  on the circle is a radius of the circle.
