You are remodeling your kitchen. You've contacted two tiling companies who gladly told you how long it took their workers to til

e a floor of a similar size. Jim completed half the floor in 7 hours. Pete completed the other half of the floor in 6 hours. If Pete can lay 15 more tiles per hour than Jim, what equation would you use to find the rate that Jim can lay tiles? Let x represent Jim's rate.

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)

HELP PLZ I DON'T UNDERTSTAND IT
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keeping point y as a reference, we know that it was rotated 180 degrees around the origin. I could tell this because y moved from one corner to another, if it was rotated 90 degrees it would move in a different direction. We also know it moved clockwise because if it moved counter clockwise it would have a different location.

We also know that it was shifted across the x-axis because it moved to the right. If it moved downwards it would have moved in the y direction.

Hope this helps.
