Play some pains 1/4 of the area of his living room walls,w, on Monday. On Tuesday, he paints twice as much as he painted on Monday. Write an expression to find the remaining unpainted area

Respuesta :

Answer:

X = 1 - (1/4) - 2 * (1/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to be raised must take into account what is painted on Monday and Tuesday. First consider the wall as a unit, that is to say painting the entire wall (100%) is equivalent to 1. Therefore the equation would be the following:

Let X be the unpainted part:

X = 1 - (1/4) - 2 * (1/4)

X = 1 - (1/4) - (1/2)

Now, if we solve this, we have that 0.25, therefore 25% or 1/4 is left to be painted on the wall.
