Solution: We are given that:
5 people can paint 7 walls in 21 minutes
Therefore, 1 person can paint 7 walls in
minutes
Which means 1 person can paint 1 wall in
minutes
Now, 3 people can paint 1 wall in
minutes
Therefore, 3 people can paint 5 walls in
minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
7(x - 3) - (x + 3)(x - 3)
(x - 3)(7 - (x + 3))
(x - 3)(7 - x - 3)
(x - 3)(4 - x)
Step-by-step explanation:
y + 2 = 1/4(x - 8)
y +2 =1/4x - 2
y = 1/4x - 4
