Answer:

Explanation - instead of adding 28 to each side to get rid of the -28, the student subtracted 28 from each side

Correct Answer - x = 403

Step-by-step explanation:

The student subtracted 28 from each side instead of adding 28 to each side. When you add 28 to each side, you are adding 28 to -28, which makes it 0 and disappear. When you subtract 28 from each side, you are adding -28 to -28, which makes it -54, and not 0.

The correct answer can be found by adding 28 to each side, which gives us an answer of x = 403.

Hope this helps!! :)

Lucy used 3 gal of paint to cover 900 ft. She needs to cover a total of 1,100 ft?.
insens350 [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

3 gal = 900 ft

... gal = 1100 ft

So, each gal is used for cover 300 ft,

Then,

\sf \frac{1100}{900}  \times 3 =  \frac{11}{3}  =  \boxed{ \bold{ \red{3 \frac{2}{3}  \: gal}}}

We need <u>3 2/3 gal</u> to cover 1100 ft.

Hope it helps!
