You can think of this equation as

and thus apply the transformations to it as such



1) D = 2, C = +3
2) D = -12, C = -2
3) C = +6, D = 3
4) C = -7, D = -7
.5X+3.50y=33.50 Would be the equation hope this helps
-1.....if the number on the left is smaller than the number on the right change the the number on the right to equal the same on the left then however many numbers down you went make that a negative and that’s your answer
For this case, we have the total of painters is 16, so to determine what percentage is painting the interior of the house, we make a rule of three:
16 ---------------> 100%
4 -----------------> x
Where "x" represents the% of painters who paint the interior of the house.

Thus, 25% of painters are painting the interior of the house.
Answer:
25%
