Adecorator wants to line the bottom of 3 drawers with paper. if the bottom of each drawer measures 36 inches by 20 inches,
how many square inches of paper are needed?
a 1,040
b
1,080
c 2,040
d
2,160

D  2,160

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The bottom of each drawer measures 36 inches by 20 inches.

Then area of bottom of each drawer is given :-

Now, the area for 3 drawers will be :-

Hence, the area of paper needed = 2160 square inches

w = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

-2w - 14 = 2(w + 1)

-2w - 14 = 2w + 2

Step 2:  Add 2w to both sides

-2w - 14 + 2w = 2w + 2 + 2w

-14 = 4w + 2

Step 3:  Subtract 2 from both sides

-14 - 2 = 4w + 2 - 2

-16 = 4w

Step 4:  Divide both sides by 4

-16 / 4 = 4w / 4

-4 = w

 w = -4
