Tomi stacks four rectangular prisms to build a staircase. He plans to cover the tops, fronts, and sides of the stairs with brick-patterned paper. The rectangular prism at the top has a length of 11 inches, a width of 30 inches, and a height of 7 inches. How much paper, rounded to the nearest square foot, will Tomi need in order to cover the stairs? Explain.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=
