Question

This is harder so i put more points

Answer 1

Sheet metal costs $20 per square foot.

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

Answer 2

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.
