In order to know how long Roberto will take to decorate all the signs we need to find their surface area, since they're rectangular their area is given by the product of their dimensions.

First sign:

area1 = (2/3)*(1/4) = 2/12 = 1/6 foot²

Second sign:

area2 = (1/2)*(1/3) = 1/6 foot²

The total area he has to paint is the sum of their individual areas, so we have:

total area = area1 + area2 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3 foot²

To find out how long he'll take to decorate this area we can use a rule of three as shown bellow:

3/4 hour -> 1 foot²

x hour -> 1/3 foot²

x = (3/4)*(1/3) = 1/4 hours

I will like to know how to solve this

Alexxandr [17]

This is a linear equation in x.

So you need to group like terms

$1 + 4x = - 5 + 7x$
Let us group the x terms on the Right Hand Side of the equation and the constant terms on the Left Hand Side.

$1 + 5 = 7x - 4x$
We can now simplify

$6 = 3x$
Now let us divide both sides by 3.

$\frac{6}{3} = \frac{3x}{3}$

This implies that

$2 = x$
or

$x = 2$
Let us our answer

$1 + 4(2) = - 5 + 7(2)$

$1 + 8 = - 5 + 14$
$9 = 9$
Good we are right
