The correct equations are:

B. x = 3 + 4 + 29
C. x = 3 * 4 + 29

The equation B represents the total cost of the meal by adding the cost of each dessert ($3) to the cost of the family dinner platter ($29), and the cost for each person in the family ($4).

The equation C represents the total cost of the meal by multiplying the cost of each dessert ($3) by the number of family members (4), and adding it to the cost of the family dinner platter ($29).
