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 9 hours. Pete completed the other half of the
floor in 5 hours. If Pete can lay 35 more tiles per hour than Jim, what equation
would you use to find the rate that Jim can lay tiles? Let x represent Jim's
rate.
A. 5x - 9(x-36)
B. 5x - 91% +35)
C. 9x - 5(x-36)
D. 9x - 5(x +35)
