Trica's mother let her play outside for 15 minutes. when she went outside, she played with her dog for 5 minutes. then she rode her bike for 4 minutes .she spent the rest of her time catching bugs. how many minutes did trica spent catching bugs?

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.

3x^3-2x^2+4x-3= -3

x^2+3x+3= 3

-3÷3= -1
