Here are the steps with the appropriate reasoning inserted:

  1. Step 1: 816 + 24x = 1,200
    Reasoning: Distributive Property

  2. Step 2: 816 - 816 + 24x = 1,200 - 816
    Reasoning: Subtraction as the inverse operation to isolate the variable

  3. Step 3: 24x = 384
    Reasoning: Combine Like Terms

  4. Step 4: x = 16
    Reasoning: Division as the inverse operation to isolate the variable
