To find the area of the living room, we first need to determine the total area of the bathroom and then find the total area of the living room.
Let x be the total area of the living room.
Given that the area of the bathroom is 35 square feet, we can set up the equation:
1/5x - 25 = 35
Multiplying both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction:
x - 125 = 175
Adding 125 to both sides:
x = 300
Therefore, the area of the living room is 300 square feet.
