2. Jay needs 19 quarts more paint for the outside of his barn than for the inside. If he uses 107 quarts in all,
how many gallons of paint will be used to paint the inside of the barn?

Answer 1

11 gallons

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of quarts needed for the inside of the barn. Then total amount of paint used is ...

x +(x +19) = 107

2x = 88 . . . . . . . . subtract 19

x = 44 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, 44 quarts is 11 gallons.

Jay needs 11 gallons of paint for the inside of the barn.
