Answer 1

We are asked to find the number that makes the equation correct.

To do that we need to solve the left side of the equation

`(3*8)+(4*8)`

Find the products

`\begin{gathered} (3*8)=24 \\ (4*8)=32 \end{gathered}`

Find the sum of the products

`24+32=56`

This means that the number 56 will make the equation correct.

`(3*8)+(4*8)=56`
