Jay needs 19 quarts more paint for the outside of his barn than for the inside if he uses 107 quarts in all how many gallons of paint will be used to paint the inside of the barn


Respuesta :

Let's say q is the number of quarts he needs for the inside, which is what we're trying to find.
Then he needs 19 more quarts for the outside, so q + 19 is the number he needs for the outside.
Total, he needs 107 quarts to paint the inside and outside.

q + q + 19 = 107

2q = 107 - 19 = 88

q = 44 (quarts)
