Answer 1

Answer:

12x=10(25+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's rate=x

Pete's rate=y

Jim and Pete lays the same number of tiles.

So we have,

12x=10y

Pete's can lay 25 more tiles than Jim per hour

We have

y=25+x

Substitute y=25+x into 12x=10y

12x=10y

12x=10(25+x)

12x=250+10x

12x-10x=250

2x=250

x=250/2

=125

x=125

12x=10(25+x) is the equation used to find the rate that Jim can lay tiles
