1. Conrad spent $48 on art supplies. The canvas for each of his paintings is an additional $2. He plans to sell his paintings for $10. a. Write an equation that could be used to find the number of paintings (p) he will need to sell to break even.
Equation: 48+2p=10p Answer: P=6 Solution: 48+ 2p=10p Subtract 2p from both sides. It will then make the equation 48=8p. Divide both sides by 8 to get p alone. 48/8=6 P=6 :)
