3x= 5 + 2(3 + 4x)
How to solve this?

x = -11/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = 5 + 2(3 + 4x)

~Distribute left side

3x = 5 + 6 + 8x

~Combine like terms on the left side

3x = 11 + 8x

~Subtract 8x to both sides

-5x = 11

~Divide -5 to both sides

x = -11/5

Best of Luck!

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.
