BRAINLIST PLEASE
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)
Hey!
-------------------------------------------------
Solution:
9 + 22 = x + 1
9 + 22 - x = x + 1 - x
31 - x = 1
31 - x 31 = 31 - 1
x = 30
-------------------------------------------------
Answer:
x = 30
