Answer:
If the question is saying that length is 7x, then the answer (width) is x-2
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
expand 4(x+5): 4x+20
2x+34=4x+20
subtract 34 from both sides
2x+34-34=4x+20-34
2x=4x-14
subtract 4x from both sides
2x-4x=4x-14-4x
-2x=-14
divide both sides by -2
-2x/-2=-14/-2
x=7
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
