A construction company needs to remove 36 tons of dirt from a construction site. They can remove 3/4 tons of dirt each hour. How long will take to remove the
dirt?
Write your answer in simplest form.

      2

  2 is to go somewhat to the top right of a because it is squared    

v= a h/3

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.

given the equation is 8+9z=-6, the first step would be to subtract the 8 from both sides:

8+9z-8=-6-8

since 8 minus 8 = 0, this would cancel out the 8. and since -6 minus 8 equals -14, the equation would look like this

9z = -14
