There are 56 minutes for 10 people to paint 7 walls!
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x+16=58
Subtract 16 from each side
-7x+16-16=58-16
-7x = 42
Divide by -7
-7x/-7 = 42/-7
x = -6

We divide first number from first parenthesis with first number from second parenthesis. Then the resulting number we multiply by all numbers in second parenthesis and substract from first parenthesis.

We repeat previous steps until we run out of numbers:


We are left with a number that has no x inside. This is remainder.
The final solution is sum of all these solutions and remainder:
The answer is 6,811.1
