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

The equation of line A is y = 7x + 12. Line B is perpendicular to line A and passes through the point . What would be the soluti
max2010maxim [7]
Since B is perpendicular to A. We can say that the gradient of B will be -1/7 (product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines has to be -1).
Now we know that the equation for B is y=-(1/7)x + c with c being the y intercept.
Since the point isnt specified in the question, we could leave the equation like this.
But if there is a given point that B passes through, just plug in the x and y values into their respective places and solve to find c. That should give you the equation for b.
Now, to find the solution of x, we have 2 equations:
1) y=7x+12
2)y=-(1/7)x+c

In this simultaneous equation we see that y is equal to both the expressions. So,
7x+12=-(1/7)x+c

Now, since the value of c is not found, we cannot actually find the value of x, but if we would find c, we could also find x since it would only be a matter of rearranging the equation.
And there you go, that is your solution :)

X^2+6x-19=0 pls helpppp
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is not factorable, let's just complete the square:

x^2+6x=19\\x^2+6x+9=28\\(x+3)^2=28\\x+3=\sqrt{28}\\x=2\sqrt{7}-3
