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)
Answer:
The quantity of clover seeds in pounds to be added is 11.14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the quantity of poppy seeds in pounds
y -----> the quantity of clover seeds in pounds
we know that
-----> equation A
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
therefore
The quantity of clover seeds in pounds to be added is 11.14
3x + 6 = -1 - 3 + 4x
Combine like terms on the right side.
3x + 6 = -4 + 4x
Add 4 to both sides.
3x + 10 = 4x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
10 = x
The equation has one solution (10).
Bring the 13 over to read
13-12y-13=0
then move the 12y over do it becomes
13-13=12y
0=12y
y=0
