First bring all the x's to one side.
then subtract them.
then divide 24 by 3 to get the x alone and get your answer.
11x-8x=24
3x=24
x=8
Answer:
Label: About 527.9 square centimeters
Aluminum: About 835.7 square centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of paper needed for the label:

. Together, they have area
. Adding this to the area of the sides, you get a total of about 835.7 square centimeters.
Hope this helps!
