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

$(3\times8)+(4\times8)$

Find the products

$\begin{gathered} (3\times8)=24 \\ (4\times8)=32 \end{gathered}$

Find the sum of the products

$24+32=56$

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

$(3\times8)+(4\times8)=56$
