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

Hope it's not too late

Step-by-step explanation:

Also hope this helps :)

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
