Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours

Given that

Rachel can paint half of the living room in 1 hour

Fran can paint \frac{1}{5}th part of the living room in 1 hour

Let's assume together they paint the living room in x hours

⇒ together they can paint \frac{1}{x}th part of the living room in 1 hour

By proportions,

⇒\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}= \frac{1}{x} {using operation proportions and addition}

⇒\frac{7}{10}=\frac{1}{x}

⇒x=\frac{10}{7}        

⇒ together they can paint \frac{7}{10}th part of the living room in 1 hour

It means, Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours

Maurinko [17]

Combine the terms. Note that: one positive and one negative sign results in a negative sign.

Simplify: 5 + (-4) = 5 - 4 = 1

1 + (-7) = 1 - 7 = -6

-6 + 2 = -4
