If you need an equation it is -3.4x=21.5
You simply divide both sides by -3.4 to get x=-6.32
if that's not right then just get on a calculator and calculate by doing what I said to divide
If you would like to know how many gallons of paint will Henry need to paint his living room, you can calculate this using the following steps:
the ceiling: 24 ft * 18 ft = 432 ft squared
walls: 2 * 24 ft * 9 ft + 2 * 18 ft * 9 ft = 2 * 24 * 9 + 2 * 18 * 9 = 432 + 324 = 756 ft squared
432 ft squared + 756 ft squared = 1188 ft squared
1 gallon of paint ... 450 ft squared
x gallons of paint = ? ... 1188 ft squared
1 * 1188 = 450 * x
1188 = 450 * x /450
x = 1188 / 450
x = 2.64 gallons of paint
The correct result would be 2.64 gallons of paint.
3x+17=2x+23
5x=40
40/5=8
x=8
