Answer 1

                                       Answer and Explanation

__________________________________________________________

Sheet metal costs $20 per square foot

( x = 20 )

__________________________________________________________

Sheet metal costs 20 dollars per square foot, and we can figure this out by multiplying the 20 by the numbers and subtracting them.

__________________________________________________________

$7.6x-2.3x=106$ but what does x equal? ( 20 )

$7.6\cdot20$ = $152$

$2.3\cdot20$ = $46$

__________________________________________________________

$152-46$ = $106$

Which is the same in the question, so x = 20.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sheet metal costs $20 per square foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

7.6x - 2.3x = 106

We are finding the value of x.

5.3x = 106

Divide both sides by 5.3.

x = 106 ÷ 5.3

x = 20
