Let's define a variable:
Let x be the cost of each tube of paint.
Now, we can write an equation based on the given information:
Total cost = Cost of the canvas + Cost of the paint tubes
$24.59 = $6.95 + 8x
To solve for x, we can start by subtracting $6.95 from both sides of the equation:
$24.59 - $6.95 = 8x
Simplifying the left side of the equation:
$17.64 = 8x
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:
$17.64 / 8 = x
The cost of each tube of paint is $2.205, which can be rounded to $2.21.
Let x be the cost of each tube of paint.
Now, we can write an equation based on the given information:
Total cost = Cost of the canvas + Cost of the paint tubes
$24.59 = $6.95 + 8x
To solve for x, we can start by subtracting $6.95 from both sides of the equation:
$24.59 - $6.95 = 8x
Simplifying the left side of the equation:
$17.64 = 8x
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:
$17.64 / 8 = x
The cost of each tube of paint is $2.205, which can be rounded to $2.21.

Apologies for the error. Let's solve the equation correctly:
Total cost = Cost of the canvas + Cost of the paint tubes
$24.59 = $6.95 + 8x
Subtracting $6.95 from both sides of the equation:
$24.59 - $6.95 = 8x
Simplifying the left side:
$17.64 = 8x
Dividing both sides by 8:
$17.64 / 8 = x
The cost of each tube of paint is $2.205, which can be rounded to $2.21.
Total cost = Cost of the canvas + Cost of the paint tubes
$24.59 = $6.95 + 8x
Subtracting $6.95 from both sides of the equation:
$24.59 - $6.95 = 8x
Simplifying the left side:
$17.64 = 8x
Dividing both sides by 8:
$17.64 / 8 = x
The cost of each tube of paint is $2.205, which can be rounded to $2.21.
