Let's assume that the number of chicken wings on the tray to start is represented by the variable x.
According to the equation, the number of chicken wings remaining on the tray after 4 people took 3 wings each is given by the expression:
x - 4*3 = 24
x - 12 = 24
x = 24 + 12
x = 36
Therefore, there were originally 36 chicken wings on the tray.
Solve the equation above to find how many chicken wings were on the tray to start
