Garvin is painting the outside of the house. One can of paint will cover 2/9 of the house. Garvin has already used 4 can of paint . How much surface is already painted

4 cans of paint will cover 8/9 of the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

One can of paint covers 2/9 of the house.

Garvin has used 4 of those cans.

To get the fraction of the whole surface that has been covered by those 4 cans of paint, we can multiply, following the logic below:

1 can of paint covers = 2/9 of the surface

4 cans of paint will cover = x of the surface

x = 4 X 2/9 = 8/9

Therefore, 4 cans of paint will cover 8/9 of the surface

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
