Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
You factor out the common term first.
You should get the equation below.

Answer:
108
Step-by-step explanation:
You are correct for stating one tissue box has a volume for 36.
But notice there are 3 tissue boxes, so in order to find the total volume, you should add them up.
36+36+36=108
X + x + x + x - 20 is equivalent to 4x - 20 because you can add the like terms, or the x's.
It's a simple linear equation in 'y'. There is only one number that 'y' can be
that will make the equation a true statement. That number is called the
'solution' to the equation. Here's one way to find it:
You said that <u> 2 = y/5 - 8</u>
Add 8 to each side: 10 = y/5
Multiply each side by 5: <em> 50 = y</em>
