Answer: correct evaluation and medium of exchange etc.

Explanation: The main problem with the barter system is that it would be hard to value the goods or services that the parties are exchanging. In the given case, it would be hard to value how many car washes would be equal to a paint of house.

Also finding someone who is willing to paint house in exchange of car washes is another difficult task.
