You are remodeling your kitchen. you’ve contacted two tiling companies who gladly told you how long it took their workers to tile a floor of a similar size. jim completed half the floor in 4hours. pete completed the other half in 2hours. if pete can lay 25 more tiles per hour than jim, at what rate can jim lay tiles?

look a the sides they are perpendicular

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
