i don'd understand what you are asking...
X=17
Distribute 2(x-5)
You are left with 2x-10=24
You then want to get 2x by itself so add 10 on both sides so that you get 2x=34
Isolate x completely by dividing by 2 on both sides which then leaves you with x=17
Area=(Theta/2) * r^2 This should be it, obviously Theta is your angle and you should use radiants in theory.

Answer: $4.46</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
3 containers = 6.69 dollars
3/3 containers = 6.69/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3
1 container = 2.23 dollars
2*(1 container) = 2*(2.23 dollars) ... multiply both sides by 2
2 containers = 4.46 dollars
A shortcut is to start with "3 containers = 6.69 dollars" and multiply both sides by 2/3
Each mention of "container" refers to a half-gallon container.
Its 78/10 = 39/5
Hope it helps :)
