The answer would be C.
Hope this helps! (:
Step-by-step explanation:
On the first question, you would want to put the equation together. To find x you will put 2x+6=40. Subtract 6 on both sides and you will find your x value.
So it took him 4/5 of an hour to paint 1/3
that means there is still 2/3 to go
so that means that he will have two times that time to paint the rest of the room
<u>4/5</u> = <u> ? </u>
1/3 2/3
using cross multiplication
(4/5)(2/3) = (1/3) (?)
8/15 = 1/3 ?
divide both sides by 1/3
so that will be 8/5
that means it will take 8/5 of an hour to complete the rest
or 12/5 total to do entire room
Hope this helps ;)
6 over negative 10, because you just multiply the numerator and denominator by 2
