Log (5) + log (3) = log (15)
The second answer is right
Since there are 2 sides to the shelf, there is 0.05*2=0.05+0.05=0.1 meters of space between the shelf and wall in total. Next, since each piece of wood is 0.3 meters wide and we have 3 of them, the total width of the wood is 0.3+0.3+<something>
Note that <width of wood>+<space between shelf and well> =width of closet
I challenge you to finish this on your own - good luck, and feel free to ask with any further questions!

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.
The correct solution:
Start with the word “distribute” meaning to pass equally. Now distributive property means to distribute equally. For example 2(4x+5) you wanna distribute the 2 amount the parentheses so that it’s”distributed evenly. 2(4x+5) is now 8x+10
