The first step to solve the equation \( x - 4 = 24 \) is to **add 4 to both sides**. Therefore, the correct answer among your options would be:

a) add both sides

This step will isolate \( x \) on one side of the equation. After adding 4 to both sides, the equation becomes:

\( x = 24 + 4 \)

So, \( x = 28 \).
