Remember PEMDAS is the order of operations. parenthesis,exponents,multiply,divide,add,subtract. so -8x-4x is -12x. now simplified the problem is 3(9-12x) + 8(3x+4)=11 . now I would distribute the numbers before the parentheses and it becomes 27-36x + 24x+32 =11 . now combine like terms. 59-12x =11 . subtract 59 on both sides. -12x=-48. divide -12 on both sides. x=4. :-)

Answer:

159 feet of fabric

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that 1 curtain is 36inches long

Since 1 foot = 12inches

x foot = 36inches

Cross multiply;

12 * x = 36

12x = 36

x = 36/12

x = 3

Hence 36inches is same as 3 feet

If Charlotte's curtain company wants to make 53 curtains, the length of 53 curtain is expressed as;

1 curtain = 3feet

53 curtain = y

y = 53 *3

y = 159 feet

Hence she will need 159 feet of fabric
