Stefanie is painting her bedroom she can paint 12 1/3 square feet in 1/5 of an hour. How many square feet can she paint in one hour?

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

wait this depends wether emily and zach how they are thinking.
