Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
0.4x - 1.2 = 0.15x + 0.8
0.4x - 1.2 + 1.2 = 0.4x
0.15x + 0.8 + 1.2 = 0.15x + 2
0.4x = 0.15x + 2
0.4x - 0.15x = 0.25x
0.15x + 2 - 0.15x = 2
0.25x = 2
0.25x / 0.25 = x
2 / 0.25 = 8
x = 8
8x+15=7
In the statement the phrase the sum of can tell you that it is going to be an addition problem. So 8x ( eight times a number) would be added to the 15, 8x+15. Since its an addition problem the part where it says ' ... is seven', you know that it will all equal 7. So the answer would be 8x+15=7.
The whole length of the poster is 4 feet. There are three people who will paint an equal length, so this means that we need to divide the 4 feet of the poster between 3 people.
4 ÷ 3 <span>≈ 1.3
Each student will paint 1.3 feet, or 1 foot and 4 inches of the poster.</span>
