Solution

To find out how many bricks Xanthe has left over, we need to subtract the number of bricks she used from the total number of bricks she ordered.

Step 1: Add up the number of bricks used for each wall. 233 (side walls) + 82 (back wall) + 54 (front wall) = 369 bricks used

Step 2: Subtract the number of bricks used from the total number ordered. 399 (total ordered) - 369 (used) = 30 bricks

So, Xanthe will have 30 bricks left over.
