Question

8 + __ = 4(2+4) I need help on this also can you explain it to me so I know next time

Answer 1

16.

Explanation:

We need 8 + a number to equal 24. We need it to equal 24 because 2 + 4 = 6 and 6 x 4 = 24. To find the missing number we need to subtract 8 from 24. 24 - 8 = 16. Let's plug 16 into the equation.

8 + 16 = 4(2 + 4)

24 = 4(2 + 4)

24 = 4(6)

24 = 24

Therefore, 16 is the correct answer.
