You have to start by using the distributive property. So you take the number next to the parentheses which is “8” and you multiply it with “2x”. This gives you “16x”. Then you multiply “8” with “3” and that gives you “24”. You now have the equation “16x + 24 = 48”.
The next step is to subtract “24” with “48”. This leaves you with “24”. Then you now have “16x = 24” as your new equation. The last step is to divide “16x” with “16”, this cancels it out with itself. Then you divide “24” with “16” and you get 1.5. So “X” equals 1.5 or you can convert it into a fraction witch gives you “3/4”.
Hello!
First you have to find the surface area of what he is painting
Finding the areas of all the rectangles he is painting
14 * 8 = 112
14 * 8 = 112
12 * 8 = 96
12 * 8 = 96
12 * 14 = 168
Add all these up
112 + 112 + 96 + 96 + 168 = 584
Divide this by the amount of area a pint of paint covers
584 / 90 = 6.4888...
He needs 7 pints of paint because he needs more than 6
Multiply this by the cost of 1 pint of pint
7 * 7.98 = 55.86
The answer is $55.86
Hope this helps!
I think what's your trying to say is 419-200? If so it's 219
