If the stack is 21ins and each board is 1 3/2 ins thick that means you 21/(1 3/2) so you end up getting 8.4. Because you can't have a part of a board you round the number down to 8 boards.

How do i do this problem 0.25(x+4)-3=28

KiRa [710]

Distribute the .25 to get .25x + 1 - 3 = 28

Then simplify to get .25x - 2 = 28

Move the two to the right to get .25x = 30

Then divide to leave x: 30 / .25 = 120

X = 120
