Janet is painting her shed. she buys some gallon-sized paint cans that cost $15 each and 2 quart-sized paint cans that cost $4 each. the cost of janet's total purchase is $53. write and solve an equation to determine the number of gallons of paint that janet purchased.

1 gallon cost $15

1 quarts cost $4

1 quarts = 1/4 gallon

15x for number of gallon cans

2 cans at $4 each = $8

15x + 8 = 53

Subtract 8 from both sides:

15x = 53-8

15x = 45

Divide both sides by 15:

x = 45/15

x = 3

She bought 3 gallon cans of paint

Plus she bought 2 quart cans, which is equal to a half gallon.

She bought a total of 3.5 gallons of paint.

answer: ouch. thats difficult

step-by-step explanation:

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
