1) Which is the BEST first step to take when solving the given equation? A)
Multiply each side by 3/2.

B)
Multiply each side by -3/2

C) Multiply each side by -2/3

D)
Add 2/3x to each side.

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
