Step 1: 816+24x=1,200
- The given equation is multiplied by 24 to distribute the multiplication to both terms on the left side.
- This step is done to isolate the variable x by moving all other terms to the right side of the equation.
Step 2: 816−816+24x=1,200 − 816
- The constant term 816 is subtracted from both sides of the equation.
- This step is done to cancel out the constant term on the left side and simplify the equation on the right side.
Step 3: 24x=384
- The subtraction on the left side of the equation simplifies to 0.
- This step is done to further simplify the equation and isolate the variable x on one side.
Step 4: x=16
- The equation is divided by 24 to solve for x.
- This step is done to find the value of x that satisfies the equation.
To solve the equation: 24(34+x)=1,200
, give the reasons for each of the given steps.
