Deangelo Gonzales · Answer 1

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.
