Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
since it's the lhs we are concerned about, i. e., Y axis, so it must be either up or down. now look at the question, it says 8x2 - (1), it means one lower value of y i. e., 1 unit down
10,011,138,124 is the answer
As given, let Jim's rate = x
Let Pete's rate =y
Jim completed half the floor in 12 hours so it's
= 12x
Pete completed the other half of the floor in 10 hours so its
=10y
As floor area is equal so,
.............(1)
Now, given is that Pete can lay 25 more tiles per hour than Jim, this gives=
...... (2)
Putting the value of y from equation (2) in equation (1) , we get

So, the equation is : 
If you want to solve it, it becomes:



Hence, Jim can lay 125 tiles and Pete can lay 25 more so 125+25=150 tiles.
