If it takes 21 minutes for 5 people to paint 7 walls how many minutes does it take 3 people to paint 5 walls

21 minutes divided by 7 walls = 3 minutes per wall for 5 people.

Assuming each worker has the same exact productivity, one person would take 15 minutes to paint a single wall (3 minutes x 5 people to get the amount of time for 1 worker per wall).

15 minutes for one worker multiplied by 5 walls = 75 minutes for one worker.  Divide 75 minutes by 3 people = 25 minutes to paint all 5 walls with 3 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.
