To find the correct path from Start to Finish, we need to solve each equation in the boxes and check if the value of $X$ matches the number written on the yellow arrow leading to the next box. If they match, that is the correct step.

Let's trace the path step-by-step:

Step 1: Start at the top-left box.
* Equation: $X + 7 = 15$
* Solve for $X$: Subtract 7 from 15.
$$15 - 7 = 8$$
* So, $X = 8$.
* Look at the arrows coming out of this box:
* Right arrow says $X = 17$ (Incorrect)
* Down arrow says $X = 11$ (Incorrect)
* Diagonal down-right arrow says $X = 8$ (Correct)
* Move diagonally down-right to the next box.

Step 2: Second box ($X + 6 = 13$)
* Equation: $X + 6 = 13$
* Solve for $X$: Subtract 6 from 13.
$$13 - 6 = 7$$
* So, $X = 7$.
* Look at the arrows coming out of this box:
* Up arrow says $X = 2$ (Incorrect)
* Right arrow says $X = 4$ (Incorrect)
* Down arrow says $X = 5$ (Incorrect)
* Diagonal down-left arrow says $X = 4$ (Incorrect)
* Diagonal down-right arrow says $X = 8$ (Incorrect)
* Wait, let me re-check the connections from the previous step.

Let's re-evaluate Step 1 carefully.
Box: $X + 7 = 15 \rightarrow X = 8$.
Arrows leaving this box:
- Right to "3 + X = 4": Label is $X=17$. No.
- Down to "5X = 20": Label is $X=11$. No.
- Diagonal to "X + 6 = 13": Label is $X=8$. Yes.

Okay, so we are at the box "X + 6 = 13".
We calculated $X = 7$.
Arrows leaving "X + 6 = 13":
- Up to "3 + X = 4": Label $X=2$. No.
- Right to "6 + X = 15": Label $X=4$. No.
- Down to "X - 10 = 5": Label $X=5$. No.
- Diagonal down-left to "X + 3 = 12": Label $X=4$. No.
- Diagonal down-right to "8X = 24": Label $X=8$. No.

Something is wrong. Let me re-read the diagram connections.

Let's look at the box "3 + X = 4" (Top row, 2nd box).
$3 + X = 4 \rightarrow X = 1$.
Arrows leaving it:
- Left from previous? No, arrows go OUT.
- Right to "4X = 12": Label $X=5$. No.
- Down to "X + 6 = 13": Label $X=2$. No.
- Diagonal down-right to "6 + X = 15": Label $X=3$. No.
