- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
8x - 3(2x - 4) = 3(x - 6)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 8x - 6x + 12 = 3x - 18
- Combine like terms: 2x + 12 = 3x - 18
- Subtract 2x on both sides: 12 = x - 18
- Add 18 to both sides: 30 = x
- Rewrite: x = 30
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 8(30) - 3(2(30) - 4) = 3(30 - 6)
- Multiply: 240 - 3(60 - 4) = 3(30 - 6)
- Subtract: 240 - 3(56) = 3(24)
- Multiply: 240 - 168 = 72
- Subtract: 72 = 72
The answer is 166.5 square feet
Order all the numbers:
7, 19, 21, 22, 24, 33
The 2 middle numbers are 21 and 22
Add both numbers and divide by 2:
21 + 22 = 43
43 / 2 = 21.5
The median is 21.5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
He will actually need to wait for 12 weeks. And that is because if you look at the multiples of 6 and 4 and you'll notice that 12 is the lowest common multiple between them. So you start counting from 6 and 4 at the same time until you notice the LCM of these two numbers then on which ever you number you settle on is how long he will need to wait.
