Ok so pete lays 10 more than jim per hour
pete and jim laid same amount of tiles
j=jim's rate
p=pete's rate
6j=5p
but pete lays 10 tile per hour faster so
p=10+j
sub
6j=5(10+j)
6j=50+5j
minus 5j both sides
j=50
jim can lay at 50 tiles per hour
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 8(x + 5) = 6 - 3x
Remember to follow PEMDAS. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, distribute -8 to all terms within the parenthesis
-8(x + 5) = (-8)(x) + (-8)(5) = -8x - 40
5x - 8x - 40 = 6 - 3x
Isolate the variable (x). Add 3x & 40 to both sides
5x - 8x (+3x) - 40 (+40) = 6 (+40) - 3x (+3x)
5x - 8x + 3x = 6 + 40
Simplify. Combine like terms
(5x - 8x + 3x) = (6 + 40)
0 = 46 ; False 0 ≠ 46 ∴ no solution is your answer
