4 quart = 1 gallon

Therefore,

28 quart = 28 quart × 1 gallon / 4 quart

28 quart = 7 gallon

Therefore, 28 quarts is equivalent to 7 gallons.

Hence, Joe made a mistake in his calculations by multiplying 28 quarts by 4 instead of dividing 28 quart by 4.

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.
