First we need to find the area of the fence, since paint covers square feet and squared units refers to area. The area of the fence is 26 x 7, which is 182 sq ft. If one gallon of paint will cover 350 sq ft, your proportion will look like this, with gallons of paint on top and square feet on the bottom.
. Cross multiply to get 350x = 182 and x = .52, just a bit over a half of a gallon of paint.

I'm glad you asked!
Step-by-step explanation:
54 +83+57.36+83 = 211.42
Answer:
x=2, y=13
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to get this by addition which is the easiest way for this you want to take both equations
y=3x+7 and y=-4x+21 and move x to the other side of the equation so it is like 4x+y=21 and -3x+y=7 like that now you have to get rid of one of the exponents and the easiest one to get rid of is y so I'm going to multiply -3x+y=7 by negative 1 so it becomes 3x-y=-7 that way the equations value has not changed since I multiplied both sides and now when I add
4x+y=21 and 3x-y=-7 It'll look like
4x+y=21
3x-y=-7 add those It will get rid of the y
then get 7x=14 simplify to get x=2 then you can take -3x+y=7 plug in x and get
-3(2)+y=7 multiply into -6+y=7 then simplify you get y=13
Answer: You can multiply the top equation by -1 to eliminate the x variable.
And the solution is (2,4/3) in case you need it.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 8
2x + 6y = 12
If you multiply the upper equation or down equation by one, you will be able to eliminate the x variable.
-1( 2x + 3y) = -1(8) New equation: -2x -3y = -8.
Add the new equation you got by multiplying the top equation by -1 to the bottom equation.
Add them: -2x -3y = -8
2x + 6y = 12
3y = 4
y = 4/3
You can now input the value for y into the one of the equations and solve for x.
-2x - 3(4/3) = -8
-2x -4 = -8
+4 +4
-2x = -4
x = 2
12/16 which would reduce to 6/8 which can also reduce further to 3/4! :) so the final answer is 3/4.
