Answer 1

24.95-6.95= 18

18 divided by 8 = 2.25

So each tube of paint cost 2.25 dollars

Explanation:

for the first equation we are subtracting the cost of the canvas from the total cost to find the cost of 8 tubes of paint and we get that 8 tubes of paint cost 18 dollars. Next we divide 18 by 8 to get the cost of a single tube of paint and we get 2.25.
