To move from step 1 to step 2, the equation was simplified by subtracting 816 from both sides. This was done to isolate the term with the variable on one side of the equation.
To move from step 2 to step 3, the equation was further simplified by performing the subtraction on the left side. This was done to remove the constant term from the left side of the equation and keep only the term with the variable.
To move from step 3 to step 4, the equation was solved for x by dividing both sides by 24. This was done to isolate the variable and find its value.
24(34+x)=1,200
, give the reasons for each of the given steps.
What was done to the previous step to get to the current equation?
(1 point)
Step 1: 816+24x=1,200
Step 2: 816−816+24x=1,200 − 816
Step 3: 24x=384
Step 4: x=16
