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

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

24/56=hx^7
