Begin by subtracting 1/8 from both sides to get

and get a common denominator of 8 on the right:

. Now simplify and cross-multiply: 39x = -16 andx = -16/39
1. Line l; point P not on l.( Take a line I and mark point P outside it or on the line.So from point P there are infinite number of lines out of which only one line is parallel to line I. Suppose you are taking point P on line I, from that point P also infinite number of lines can be drawn but only one line will be coincident or parallel to line I.
2. Plane R is parallel to plane S; Plane T cuts planes R and S.(Imagine you are sitting inside a room ,consider two walls opposite to each other as two planes R and S and floor on which you are sitting as third plane T ,so R and S are parallel and plane T is cutting them so in this case their lines of intersect .But this is not possible in each and every case, suppose R and S planes are parallel to each other and Plane T cuts them like two faces of a building and third plane T is stairs or suppose it is in slanting position i.e not parallel to R and S so in this case also lines of intersection will be parallel.
3. △ABC with midpoints M and N.( As you know if we take a triangle ABC ,the mid points of sides AB and AC being M and N, so the line joining the mid point of two sides of a triangle is parallel to third side and is half of it.
4.Point B is between points A and C.( Take a line segment AC. Mark any point B anywhere on the line segment AC. Three possibilities arises
(i) AB > BC (ii) AB < BC (iii) AB = BC
Since A, B,C are collinear .So in each case 
Answer:
ummm I think the answer is Carrot
18 1/2 -17 3/4
= 18.50 -17.75
= 0.75
= 3/4
The 4th selection is appropriate.
I got 16.8 , but she’ll need roughly 17 gallons of paint :)
how i did it :
1. so you know she’ll need 4/5 per book case, and there are 16 bookcases.
2. So you do 16 x 5, then you get 84
3. and you divide 84 by 5. and you’ll get 16.8, that’s how many gallons of paint she needs
