Question

1. Conrad spent $48 on art supplies. The canvas for each of his paintings is an additional $2. He plans to sell his paintings for $10. a. Write an equation that could be used to find the number of paintings (p) he will need to sell to break even.

Thanks​

Answer 1

Equation: 48+2p=10p
Answer: P=6
Solution: 48+ 2p=10p
Subtract 2p from both sides. It will then make the equation 48=8p.
Divide both sides by 8 to get p alone. 48/8=6
P=6
