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)
Your two equations are at the top, in the box is what each variable represents. Below the box is total liters of the 15%, which is going to equal the total liters for 10% plus the total liters for 25%. Make your percentages into decimals. There’s a total of 30 liters so, x+y needs to equal 30. Isolate a variable, I chose y, you can do either or (isolating x would be more math). Y is going to equal 30-x, substitute that for the Y in the second equation, then you need to distribute 0.25 into 30-x. Then it’s simple math, subtract 7.50 from both sides, add like gets, divide both sides by -0.15, making x=20.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By drawing the point (-3,-1) in the coordinate plane we find the graph shown below. Since there are 10 points between points A and B, we need to start at point A and then we have to move 11 units either to the right, to the left, up, or down
.
1. MOVING TO THE RIGHT:
From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the right to come to point B:
(-3+11, -1) = (8, -1)
2. MOVING TO THE LEFT:
From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the left to come to point B:
(-3-11, -1) = (-14, -1)
3. MOVING UPWARD:
From point A, move 11 units vertically upward to come to point B:
(-3, -1+11) = (-3, 10)
4. MOVING DOWNWARD:
From point A, move 11 units vertically downward to come to point B:
(-3, -1-11) = (-3, -12)
So this are the basic movements you can get to find point B. You also can move diagonally upwards or downwards in whose case you would find other four points. The graph below shows a red point which is A, and the other points are in black color and represent B.
