The answer is 7x = 6(x + 15)
x - Jim's rate
y - Pete's rate
<span>Jim completed half the floor in 7 hours: 7x = half of the floor
</span><span>Pete completed the other half of the floor in 6 hours: 6y = half of the floor
So: 7x = 6y
</span><span>Pete can lay 15 more tiles per hour than Jim: y = x + 15
</span>7x = 6y
y = x + 15
Substitute the second equation into the first one:
7x = 6(x + 15)
No, that is not true. Use the website desmos.com to try it out yourself. Graph equations like y=1x, y=1/2x, and y=1/4x to try. Then, you will see that as the number gets bigger, the line gets steeper (it gets higher..like a hill..rising..)
60 is my resultados of area
<span>(2d - 5)(2d - 4) = 4d^2 - 2d x 4 - 5 x 2d + 20 = 4d^2 - 18d + 20
Answer is B
Hope it helps! </span>
