There are 2 opposing walls with total area =
\n" ); document.write( "\"+12%2A10%2A2+=+240+\" ft2
\n" ); document.write( "The other 2 opposing walls have total area =
\n" ); document.write( "\"+15%2A10%2A2+=+300+\" ft2
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The total area of the 4 walls is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+240+%2B+300+=+540+\" ft2
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the areas of the door and the window
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3%2A6+=+18+\" ft2
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5%2A3+=+15+\" ft2
\n" ); document.write( "\"+18+%2B+15+=+23+\" ft2
\n" ); document.write( "\"+540+-+23+=+517+\" ft2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+n+\" = number of gallons of paint needed
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n+=+517+%2F+350+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n+=+1.477+\"
\n" ); document.write( "She will need to buy 2 gallons of paint\r
