Drag each equation to show if it could be a correct first step to solving the equation
4(3 + x)= 36.
3 + 4x = 36
(4.3)+(4 . x)= 36
4(3 + x)= 144
3+ x = 9
12 + x = 36
12 + 4x = 36
Yes
No

12 + 4x = 36------->Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

A correct first step is to expand the LHS to get:

Or to divide through by 4 to get:

Or just distribute to get:

it has to be a.
